This is getting to be very much part of the tall trees lifestyle, all booked a month ago but looks like we will still have two foster kids with us, so extra tickets will need to be purchased.
 
I'm going for the first time this year. Any good advice for what not to miss, or what to bring that perhaps isn't obvious to a first-timer?

Bring a chair... sitting on the ground soon looses its appeal.

If you're going be using a small tent then a large tarp will come in handy to provide an area to sit under in inclement weather as well

That's a good reminder, I always forget I've got a camping chair. I was thinking of hammocking and just bring an extra tarp or a basha sheet (in addition to my hex tarp) to get a bit of flexibility and change between open and privacy as needed.

If you've booked for this year then you are off to a good start - however, we carefully plan the most exciting things so that you always miss something - and feel compelled to come back next year!

As to what to bring - have a look through the past threads and the Bushmoot gallery to see some of the photos - they might highlight something you may not have thought about.

Mesquite is right, a chair and a tarp are great for when it rains - so maybe think of a table or a surface to keep valuable things out of the mud and up off the floor.

Paracord - lots of paracord (or your string of choice) - I get through miles of it building my chair, table, gear rackP8020008.jpg and other items that make the hard life more luxurious

Wow, that's very settled in.

I can't remember the last time I stayed more than 2-3 nights in one site (possibly in my early teens) so this will take some readjusting.

:rofl: that's just Johns' sleeping quarters.

Unfortunately I can't find a picture of our lounge and kitchen at Dingly Dell but folks will tell you we're very comfortable there :D
 
Thats nothing, our Tarptopia uses a 40litre tub full of cord and bungees..... Eight or nine tarps, 3 hammocks and 6 kit hammocks...... For just the three of us. Lol.
 
Hang on.. 1 hammock (sleeping) 2 hammocks (kit) and 3 tarps EACH!
That is a whole new stealth camping, can not see the camper for the kit.
