I also carry a GPS with OZ streets & tracks use NZ version as
well, I need it to get out of the city's, I use the bit between the ears as
well and don't take the info as the Gospel, just in case have two or three compass's one on the watch and also the old fashioned type and maps to suit.

The
Southern Cross can usually be seen at night just to remind which way is up,or down.
Survival kit, a little different that I would carry in the Bush here. Snake bite bandages etc.
Get about 3 days away from the city's the nicer the people become regardless of colour, all the locals say GIDDAY,
Get out of the way of the Road Trains.
If a little fluffy bunny pops across the road don't swerve to dodge it, run the pest over, I try to avoid goannas, snakes, Cattle, feathery and hoppy things, if you can't avoid then you are travelling to fast for the conditions anyway.
Apart from that it is pretty safe out there,
More Aussies die or get injured in our Bush and Mountains than people die of misadventure Out there
