Camping/Bivy around aus 8-Jun-2009 At 11:31:42 PM irishpete

Hey guys im coming to aus for july and aug. I will be in the sydney area all of july if anyone is looking for some one to climb outdoors with please get in touch. The main thing i wanted to ask was in aug i plan to travel around prob up to cairns. Im just travelling on my own. Plan on camping or bivying most nights (ideally not in a campsite). In europe i would just sleep out in a bivy bag but being a useless tourist im unsure how safe it is perticularly the further north i go, with the risk of snakes, spiders etc wanting to spend the night in my bivy bag too. Please give me some advice weather i should pack my tent or bivy bag. Id love to leave my tent at home if i can cause its a lot heavier.(prob to make way for my trad rack!) Any advice would be worldclass please let me no what u think.

Pete
