Extensive Camping Checklist For Your Next Camping Trip

This camping checklist is based on what my family packed when we travelled for six weeks - going from Victoria to Alice Springs, Tanami Track to the The Kimberley, all around the Gibb River Road, across to Katherine and down Stuart Hwy to Victoria, about 10,000 kms with 2 adults 3 teenagers in a Nissan 4WD Patrol and roof rack bag.
I have additional a handful of extras that we did not take but are optional for other travellers, I have marked the big things we did not take with an asterisk*

Write your very own checklist from these ideas to suit your family members.
Add something else you demand.
