Fish for Good Friday? Here’s a recipe from our Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook thanks to Greg and Glo Lawrence from Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia.
I’ve added in a couple of store-bought goods, that will really minimise fuss this Christmas season. A few of the recipes are on our blog, all the rest you’ll find in our CAMPS Community Cookbook.

Easter memories and an Easter bunny – in a pot! Have you ever cooked rabbit? Well, here’s the recipe, so now you can… Valerie Elliot said Koondrook Wetland Reserve, in the Gunbower State Forest, New South Wales is her favourite campground. it is also close to the Barham Club and shops. Valerie told us, “When we camp at Koondrook, my nephews and husband go out shooting, and have permission and gun licences to do this.
