Who are you flying with? if its anyone other than crapstar you'll probably get sporting goods allowance.
Benefits of taking hexes:
1. There are some super bomber placements where other stuff doesnt seem to fit well.
2. You get respect from the beard strokers around camp. (especially if they are hanging near your ankles.
3. The kids think you are a pro when your sorting the rack at the campsite (so much bling)
4. Good for climbing routes 70's style
5. Good for getting tentpegs into the hard soil in the gums

Negatives of taking hexes:
1. You will only use them for one day, then get annoyed with the constant clanging.
2. you'll be dispised by everyone in the campsite if you go for early morning mish with them clangin around
3. Unless you have a long grey beard, cams are faster to place and remove.

We usually get water from the tap on the public toilets in Nati. We have been told not to do this, cant remember why, but never got sick from it.

Showers at wimmera plains van park (easy to sneak extra people in, use extra money for beer) or Royal hotel in horsham (they lend you towels and soap)

Have a good trip :)
