Campfire Tips

May to August is the best time for a blazing campfire on a still, starry night when the smoke just drifts up through ghost like giant red gum trees.

Our recommendations;

	Red gum is just as good as any mallee stump open campfire, with a sweet aroma all of its own.
	It gives a hot, intense, slow burning fire with very little smoke and coals that seem to last for ever.
	This is the time to gaze at a starry sky so bright you will be amazed - far away from any polluting smog or headlights.

We provide a shovel on board for you to rake up any coals next morning, so that you can burn the last remnants over a cup of steaming coffee. This way you will leave very little charcoal behind you, and the remains of your campfire can be easily buried.

The campfire season starts May 1st in the National Parks. In our part of the river there is ample dead redgum wood for a blazing campfire.
