This email is intended to alert your company about a 'quality' issue with the Spinnifex Caravan…read moreCovers you sell. Rather than just making a complaint I wish to inform you the Spinifex Caravan Covers are potentially ok but...the material used is not consistent and quickly falls apart 'in some places'. The Spinifex claim that top and front material is 3 layer is questionable! (I have tried to attached copies of photos taken of the cover I have on my Motorhome today which has, in total, been on the Motorhome about 9 months.    In addition, the zoomed photo was taken a couple of years ago when a 'previous' cover had the same failure....only on one panel.  I did make a claim then because the cover had not been used much at all and Anaconda replaced it...which I appreciated).  I in fact purchased a 'replacement' cover yesterday (3rd cover in less than 3 years)  from Anaconda Bayswater (22'-24')  for $199 which I will use soon. I am not making a claim...because I appreciate the covers are not expensive....they do the job....but they could be much better with a little more control on material quality but your Supplier. I hope this message is useful for your team.    If someone wishes to have a look at the cover on my motorhome feel free to do so. Kind regards. Lindsay Borgas. Mobile:  0418177428.

Anaconda in Bayswater is, what I believe, the camping and hiking enthusiasts porn store. So much…read moregood stuff, and all under one massive roof. As a seasonal camper, we came to the Bayswater store when in need of a new tent for Meredith Music Festival, and found that they not only had a huge range, but with each tent set up on the display floor, you could actually try them on for size. The staff were great here too, helping us with any technical questions we had. Also stocking a huge range of camping equipment such as stoves, torches, fridges and anything else you'll need, this really is your one stop shop for camping.

I've bought quite a few things here over the years. I used to buy my Blundstone and Redback boots…read morehere, although that's not an item you need to buy too often. I used to get a couple of years' worth of life out of those boots. I also bought an awesome backpack here, more than a decade ago. Still going strong. Anyway, basically any time I'm going to go camping or on a long trip, I usually stop in here and grab odds and ends that I'll need. The service is pretty good, more or less standard retail. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful if you need them to be, but otherwise it's just a reasonably efficient staff.

I went in here looking for a thermos back when I thought I'd try and save some cash and take a…read moreflask of coffee to work with me. I was disappointed they had none in stock. I mean, is it a strange request for an Aussie Disposals store? Me thinks not. Anyway, I had a bit of a browse around, and ended up buying a cheap beanie for hubby, so all was not lost.

One of those places that seems to be attempting to make skiing and camping fashionable by having…read morebig labels and big pricetags. If Australia had it's own version of Aspen, where the rich all go to ski and drink, this would be where they shop. Which is fine, if it's getting people to enjoy the outdoors. Me, I'd rather spend a lot less and buy stuff at an Army surplus store, but I'm not out to be a beacon of high skiing fashion. All that said, I like the service. The people there are very friendly and attentive to their customers. I'm happy to go in and browse, but I'm yet to make a purchase, and I think I'd be unlikely to do so in future.

If you're going camping or backpacking and you're planning on doing it in style (read: you're…read morebackpacking because you're a masochist, not because you're cheap), this is your shop. The stuff they sell is excellent, but bring your extremely healthy cheque book. I've got a backpack I bought here a few years ago. It was expensive, but it's been extremely useful, long lasting and comfortable to lug around. Mind you, I did buy an army surplus ruck at the same time, and that was not only cheaper, but was better for carrying a large amount of stuff, and it has worn equally well. If you're planning to spend some time in the snowfields, a shopping trip here for some appropriate clothing is a good idea. I do like this shop, but it's not one that I go into regularly.
