About this word search

Some of these words come straight from the bush. A Billy can is the tin pot for boiling water over a fire, the same one that turns up in Waltzing Matilda, and Sandflies are the tiny biters that make Insect repellent worth packing near the coast.

All eight directions are used, backwards included. Amenities block, Insect repellent and Camping stove are printed as single strings, and the first is the Australian name for the shower and toilet building. The double O in Waterproof and Hiking boots can help when the grid gets busy.

On a total fire ban day the Fire pit stays cold, a useful rule to talk through with older children before any trip.
