The Great Aussie Camp OutBack to top

The Great Aussie Camp Out (GACO) brings together thousands of Australians for one big night out sharing the experience of camping out under the stars … in their back yards, on a river bank, in a camp, a National park, a caravan park - in fact, anywhere they might feel like!

With the long term goal of promoting healthy active lifestyles by encouraging individuals, families, friends and clubs to enjoy the great outdoors, GACO is a one night 'camp-out' across the country with the aim of introducing people to the fun and adventure of camping out.
