Hawthorn, Australia. February 15, 2007--Water is most preciousin Australia as the continent is prone to severe periods of drought. When travelingthe scorchy Outback, you'll learn to appreciate just how valuable water is.
Carry and drink plenty of water in your travel. Remember that the body's thirstmechanism is set on delay, which means by the time your brain tells you you'rethirsty, your body has suffered from minor dehydration already. In theexceptionally high temperatures of the Outback, dehydration could occur more rapidlythan you expect.
Rule of thumb: Carry four litres of water per day per person.
Non-perishablesHave more than enough food supply to last you in your journey in the Outback. It'sbetter to have some supplies left over rather than pack just enough. Food isessential especially in rough unknown surroundings, or if you are lost and have noidea what the distance is to the next township.
Take items which are only non-perishables though, like ready-to-eat canned meats,fruits and vegetables, and high energy foods like peanut butter, jelly, crackers,granola bars. Make sure you have a can opener or knife for cutting open foil andplastic pouches. Pack food in plastic zipper bags to keep them dry and as airtightas possible.
Petrol ConsumptionAlways have your car on full tank. And have some spare petrol at hand, too, aspetrol stations are few and far between in the Aussie Outback, and the trading hoursare very short. A good advice is that chart your petrol consumption before youleave.
Mobile phonesTrue to their name, mobile phones should go with you as you trek the Outback. But adead mobile phone isn't very much use to anyone, so don't forget to take a chargerthat can be used in the car's lighter. In some places of the Outback, you may notget a signal, in which case a Citizen's Band radio may come in handy on yourjourney.
