Bushwalk Australia

This might be of interest to some folks. Snowys[1], in South Australia, has Back Country Cuisine real cheap. Single serve mains come in at $8, for example. Five packs are $25. This is the cheapest I have seen in Australia and what's more, they do free postage to most of Australia. No, I don't work for them - they are just my local gear store.

Thanks i just got some for my summer walks.

Thanks for the heads up will be checking them out when I am ready to get out there again.

Thank you. Of course, they don't stock my favourite Fish Pie, but it's still better value than any other supplier.

Best before dates ????

When I was in store they had the fish pie. Perhaps give them a call?

I just had one for lunch - the pasta vegetariano** - and it is best before 16/4/2017. So it's not as though it's old stock.

** I didn't really rate this one. It didn't have the freshness of, say, their beef strogg. And despite using 250ml of water the pasta wasn't fully rehydrated.

Thank you.

I use that Pasta Vegetariano as a base. Add some fish (you could use jerky), dried greens, lentils, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Comes up pretty well with the additives.

Just purchased some from Snowys - expiry date was July 2017 - so plenty of time to go!

Likewise thanks for posting - good to know free postage is available from this retailer for future purchases!

Thanks for this.

How do the five serves come packaged? Can these be separated and used on different trips orrr?
