The 2019-20 camping season has been tough for many communities in Australia. Visiting these communities and spending tourism dollars is a great way to help. If you'd like to support the communities directly you can also donate via the Red Cross or search for country fire departments across Australia and make donations directly. Stay safe and support our Australian regional communities.
Get away from the 4-wheel-drives, boom-boxes and weekenders at these 10 secluded hike-in campgrounds near Merewether Beach, NSW.
Make sure you take enough water and weather-appropriate clothes. Always let somebody know when you're planning on going and when you're planning on being back. It's also a good idea to check conditions with the park ranger before you start your adventure. Happy hiking!
