A portable generator may be handy to recharge your fridge battery.
If you’re planning to camp in remote areas of the Victorian High Country, or along the Great Dividing Range from the NSW-Victorian Border to North Queensland you can’t rely on solar power alone, because the sun’s rays may not make it through cloud, mist or the thick leaf canopy.
Solar power can be a viable camping power source, but the portable generator/battery charger still has its place, particularly in situations where sunlight is unreliable.
