Like all Victorians , I had a brief window between covid lockdowns . I used it to hitch up my Goldstream camper and head to my little slice of paradise on the Ninety Mile Beach . The kids and their mum stayed home , so it was just me , the campfire and a million stars in the sky .
As I stared into the flames , I started wondering . If I was to travel with three items , other than food , clothes and water , what would they be ? It was a thought based on the idea of minimisation – stripping things back to the ‘ bare bones ’ to reduce weight in the camper . The results of this fireside exercise are in this issue .
Of course , reducing your travels so that you ’ re carrying next to nothing would defeat the purpose of caravanning . The ability to bring the gear that will enhance our enjoyment is almost the entire point . However , there is something to be said for travelling light or , at the very least , re-examining the things we ’ ve packed to see if they ’ re really worth the space they take up .
So with that in mind , what are the three things you would pack after food , clothes and water ? Share your thoughts by writing to

Meanwhile , I hope you enjoy this issue . Wherever you are , stay safe .
