The great outdoors
is for everyone
Camping trips, bushwalks and regional adventures for LGBTQIA+ adults and our allies. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get outdoors and sleep under the stars.
Nature heals. Nature teaches. Nature belongs to all of us.
For too many LGBTQIA+ Victorians, the outdoors feels out of reach.
Not because of a lack of interest — but because of barriers that quietly add up. The cost of gear. Access to transport. Not knowing where to start. Not having people to go with. Feeling like outdoor spaces weren't really made for them.
At Oot & Aboot Outdoors, we believe nature belongs to everyone. We are a not-for-profit community organisation creating inclusive, low-pressure outdoor experiences designed to reduce social isolation and support mental wellbeing.

Access for everyone
No Gear. No Wheels.
No Worries.
You don't need all the equipment — or even a car — to join us. Borrow what you need from us: quality camping equipment that community members can loan, free of charge. We're also working on structured transport options to help get you there and back if you need.
