COAL FACE

We love the ambience a small campfire adds to our camping experience. Whether it be the smoky infusion to a tender steak or the warmth and glow to people around it, enjoying a night under the stars next to the warmth of a fire is the ultimate experience.

But we haven’t always shared this notion. Back in 2011 during our Big Lap, it wasn’t, and together we forged our way to a back corner of Mount Barnett Station on Manning Gorge for a very enjoyable evening, sharing that first fire and wild yarns from our trip — and having five bodies scavenge for wood was certainly better than two!
