Learn Bushcraft & Self-Sufficiency in the Heart of the Australian Bush

Hands-on bushcraft & self-sufficiency experiences led by experienced instructors on our 120-acre private nature refuge

Welcome to Wild Camping Australia, where bushcraft meets sustainable living on our 120-acre private nature refuge near Mount Byron, Queensland.

Founded by Tiz (34-year army veteran and paramedic) and Tam (sustainability practitioner), we offer hands-on experiences that teach practical outdoor skills, self-sufficiency, and wilderness confidence. Our small-group programs (maximum 12 participants) go beyond typical camping trips. You’ll learn traditional bushcraft techniques—fire-making, shelter building, foraging, navigation—alongside modern self-sufficiency skills like beekeeping, wild brewing, permaculture, and sustainable food systems.

Whether you’re an international student seeking weekend adventure or an overseas visitor wanting an authentic Australian wilderness experience, our programs blend skill-building with environmental stewardship. Perfect for beginners and outdoor enthusiasts alike, all equipment is provided and no prior experience is necessary
