Friday afternoon – Sunday
Near Dungog
The idea of this Camp Out is to cosy up next to the campfire, share stories, cook food, play games, have some mini adventures and enjoy all the good things about winter.
There is space for tents, camper trailers and vans and we have 2 glamping tents available for a small fee.
A morning adventure will be offered for kids on Saturday morning and a crafternoon activity will be on offer in the afternoon. With a fireside sharing each night.
It is a self-catered event – though we could do a pot luck dinner on Saturday night.
This weekend is mostly for those who have been to a Wildcraft Program and their friends. If you would like to jump in on it as your first Wildcraft event – get in touch with Nikki.
Any queries, you can contact us on the details below.

WHAT TO BRING
General Gear
- Tents/swag/tarp, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, towel, toiletries, something to sit on, Esky/camp fridge.
- Gas cooker and pots if making hot lunches/ breakfast. There is a Camp kitchen too – that can be used, though it is 200m from the camp area.
- Day pack (to carry gloves/PPE, snack/lunch, water and personal items)
- Water bottle/person and 10L-20L container of drinking water. We do have treated water available – just we buy it in – so great if you can bring some of your own to reduce the demand on our treated water.
- Clothes suitable for the conditions and the outdoors- think Warm Winter Woollies
- Sensible walking shoes and maybe gumboots if it’s been wet
- Hat / long sleeve shirt / suncream /natural insect repellent (Bring pump spray or lotion – Avoid aerosols as they are too easily inhaled and are unpleasant for the village around you -Not many bugs around in Winter FYI) – NOTE: the creek is pristine so we keep it that way eg no sunscreen, detergent, repellent, soap, or oils near the creek.
- Personal Medications.
- Swimmers for the creek – if you are feeling very brave!!
- Rain jacket / poncho / rain pants
- Torch / head torch
- Plates/bowls/cups / cutlery (labelled)
- Rubbish bags/bins – there is no rubbish collection on site – all rubbish needs to be taken off site at the end.
All programs are strictly drug and alcohol free.
It is also a great chance to take a break from any vices or think about what a better balance might be.
I am also hoping to move towards socialising with nourishment – gathering around wholesome yummy food – rather than using ‘soft drugs’ like caffeine, chocolate, sweets as the hub for gathering.
This will also help those who are wanting to take a break from any vices they may have.
A note on marshmellows: these are high in sugar and additives and can drip when cooked causing burns. Apples or damper on a stick make a amazing alternative and are also great fun to cook on the fire.
Optional:
Extra tarp/gazebo/shelter/umbrella to make extra shelter/shade at your camp.
Hot water Bottle, extra blanket
Buckets, binoculars, magnifying glass, hand lens.
Acoustic instruments
Faraway Vibe
Here are Faraway, we are offering an escape from screens, made up time frames, vices and have tos. A chance to be our real selves, to connect with our true nature and the authentic presence of those around us. With living in a world where it is so hard to know what is real and what is made up, being at Faraway is a chance to be with two hands free, ready to be present in whatever the moment presents. Drugs and distractions can keep us going on the same spiral, numbing ourselves, stunting our potential. Sure, they can make life bareable at times – just for these few days it can be the break you and your body/family needs.
It’s a chance to take a breath, listen to the birds, smell the flowers, taste the sweet air and feel into your heart.
