Aussie Disposals

Aussie Disposals Highpoint is a small shop with a good range of outdoor and camping equipment and clothing. The range of tents, sleeping bags and other camping equipment is excellent — it just has everything you need for a camping trip. However I will also mention the clothing here — as that is what I last went there to purchase:
The clothing you get at this place is durable, simple, comfortable and does the job.
Im going wildlife watching overseas soon in jungle habitat and thus I needed some appropriate clothing. What you can get at Aussie Disposals is perfect for this sort of thing. Not only is the clothing suitable for this purpose, but it is also the sort of thing that can pass as semi-​fashionable in small doses whilst travelling. Note that what I mean by that is that this is clothing which is outdoor gear which can be used as fashion if need be — rather than fashion which can be used as outdoor gear if need be. Its the sort of place where you can actually get the odd piece of clothing that looks good — but make sure that you dont buy your entire wardrobe from here!!!
Some examples of the sort of thing Im talking about:
I got a grey/​black/​white army camoflague tshirt for $ 10. Its not a designer tshirt by any means — but it can pass as cool enough to wear to a bar if you have a cool pair of jeans and boots on — and more importantly, it is good for the outdoors.
I also got a few flanalette shirts for $ 10 each. Its fair to say that these are probably not going to pass as fashion, but they are useful for the outdoors and for nightshifts.
I didnt buy a pair of army pants — but only because I found suitable ones at kmart first. The ones they have though are good quality and suitable. They wont pass as fashionable in Melbourne’s funky nightlife, but they will pass as fashionable enough if worn with a cool enough tshirt in any of the worlds busier backpacker haunts such as Kathmandu, Bangkok or backpacker havens in northern India.
As well as the clothing being simple, cheap and comfortable, the staff in this particular outlet were very knowledgable about the places their customers are going. For example I chatted for a long time to the bloke behind the counter about photographing tigers in Nepal, India and other parts of Asia. I was impressed that he knew quite a lot about Bhutan and told me about someone he knew who was over there wildlife watching and fishing. He also gave me a great tip about a specific washing powder used by deer hunters to wash their clothes in: Unlike other powders, it doesnt contain phosphate and thus the deer dont detect the presence of the hunter/​photographer — well they wont detect them from their phosphate-​free clothing anyway! Deer are numerous in the places Im going, so this is very handy advice. The staff in this shop know a lot about camping and outdoor activities because they genuinely enjoy that sort of thing — they do it whenever they get a chance — and you can tell by speaking to them.
Aussie Disposals is a good shop anyway — but this particular outlet is very very good. The camping euipment is excellent, however the only criticism is that there isnt a huge range of clothing. If the range was better, I wouldve given them 5 stars.
