Mt Ragged
Mt Ragged is in Cape Arid National Park (120 km east of Esperance 279 832 hectares) is on the south-east coast of Western Australia. A remote area with beautiful beaches and crystal seascapes. The vegetation of the park has evolved from the need for the flora to conserve water. The wild life of the area, include bush wallabies and the usual array of nocturnal mammals. Mt Ragged is east of the old camel/coach route between Israelite Bay and Balladonia. There is camping at Mt Ragged. Height of only 593m but the surrounding country is quite flat apart from a few isolated hill, and it is a great day climb to the top . You can see the ocean (Israelite Bay) off to the east from the top on a clear day. There are lots of campsites along Israelite Bay. French Admiral D'Entrecasteaux named the cape "Cap Arride" in 1792, and the name was anglicised by Matthew Flinders in 1892. The park was subsequently named after this feature.
Camp Cooking Damper
Damper was traditionally made in a cast-iron pot with a lid, called a "camp oven". The entire pot was either covered in hot wood coals or the camp oven was placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded with hot wood coals. It was usually served with tea made in a billy over the camp fire. Damper was originally made with plain flour, salt and water. Adding butter and self-raising flour came later on and gives a much tastier result. INGREDIENTS Two cups self-raising flour Two teaspoons baking powder Pinch salt Milk METHOD Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix in enough milk to make a soft dough. Form into a round shape and place on a well-greased and floured tray. Place in the preheated camp oven and cook for about 30 minutes.

Small Tents - Hiking and Camping

Deciding on a small one or two man tent depends on what you are going to use it for, and where you are going to use it. If you want to use it for hiking then weight is the most important factor. The lighter the better. However where you are going to take it is also important. A light summer tent has its problems when used in Iceland. I warm areas in summer in Australia, you may be able to use just a mosquito net. Most lightweight hiking tents have aluminium poles, with the cheaper ones having fibreglass. The aluminium is still not as durable as fibreglass, although lighter

Travelling The Tanami Track
Crossing the expanse of the Tanami Desert, the Tanami Track is actually a fairly well-formed earth road maintained by local mining companies. It is, however, a lonely and isolated route and while you can tackle it in a conventional vehicle with care, you will need to be well-prepared and self-sufficient. It is not recommended for caravans or trailers. Rain can close parts of the road at short notice. As well its possible to get several hundred kilometres along the track and find it is closed at the WA border Take ample supplies of fuel, food and water other than close to the Alice Springs end of the track, fuel can only be obtained at Rabbit Flat. You should also carry enough drinking water to last two trips because all dams and bores along the route are classified as 'undrinkable'. Many travellers have dismissed the Tanami Track as being monotonous and boring, but it does have some interesting features along the way and it is the most direct route from Alice Springs to north-west Western Australia. Its also a great way to see the second biggest meteorite crater in the work at Wolfs Creek.
