   Outdoor activities like bushwalking and camping are must-have experiences in Australia. Here is some travel information and safety tips to remember:
   • Carry and drink plenty of water; at least one liter of water for every hour of walking in very warm weather.
   • Take notice of all signs – especially ‘no swimming’ signs at waterways inhabited by saltwater crocodiles
   • Be mindful that snakes inhabit most areas of the Australian territory, so be cautious when walking through long grass
   • Never camp near the water's edge
   • Carry a map of the area you're walking/camping in and know how to read it
   • Tell someone your plan and when you expect to return
   • Always camp in designated areas
   • Limit the use of fire and be aware of fire bans in certain areas of the territory
   • Wear sturdy shoes, thick socks, a hat and sunscreen while bushwalking
   • Some areas require permits to enter so check this before setting out
