Who this Australian guide is for
For AU free camps, national-park edges where allowed, and caravan parks that expect grey water to be carried to dump points.
Quick answer for AU buyers
Wash with minimal water, strain food scraps, carry grey water to approved dump points, rinse the basin after each use, and dry it before packing into a hot canopy.
Who this basin suits
Couples and small families who need a dedicated wash station without filling the kitchen sink tub every night.
Size and pack fit
43L is generous — confirm boot or annexe space and a stable stand surface.
Pairing with shower kits
Keep basin and shower tray roles separate so grey water streams stay controllable.
Materials and climate notes
Empty and dry in hot inland camps so odours do not build; shade the basin during midday heat when possible.
Grey-water dump habits at free camps
Know the local rule before you open a tap. Prefer sealed carry to dump points over dispersing near campsites.
Setup at camp
Level ground, splash mat if needed, and a labelled jerry for transport to the dump.
Care between trips
Wash, dry fully, check for cracks, and store with the lid ajar until completely dry.

FAQs
Can I tip grey water under a tree at free camp?
Follow local rules — many areas require carry-out to dump points. When unsure, carry it.
43L vs smaller basins?
43L suits family wash-ups; smaller basins pack lighter for hiking-style camps.
How do I stop smells in heat?
Empty daily, rinse, and dry fully before sealing in a vehicle.
