It’s difficult to choose a cover photo when you want to let everyone know they should be camping this first long weekend out of lockdown, but also want to celebrate International Donut Day on June 5. So, the team at Dubbo Photo News has managed to get creative and do both. Dubbo Photo News photographer Emy Harris found out she was the unwitting human model for this week’s front cover when Red Dirt Camping owner, Noel McNair, opted out after spending an hour setting the scene. “We’ve been busy for the last 10 to 15 days, we’ve had quite a lot of preparation for this weekend,” Mr McNair told Dubbo Photo News.
Mr McNair says many people who used to take it for granted that they could go camping anytime they liked with as many people as they wished, now understand that it’s a privilege and are dying to get out into the bush with their mates. “Definitely, definitely, people understand why we had to go through what we did, but now that the restrictions are starting to lift, they’re going yeah, it’s time to get out and start spending some money on gear, basically,” he said. People are buying camp ovens and swags, the odd tent but most of it has been camp ovens, anything cast iron. “A lot of families, mostly on the weekends we get families. The kids are excited, they’ve had enough of being locked up.” Enjoy the long weekend and drive safely if you’re travelling.
