Portable Eco Toilet for Hiking and Camping in Australia and New Zealand

The Southern Hemisphere's Finest Wilderness

Australia and New Zealand offer some of the world's most extraordinary outdoor experiences — from New Zealand's iconic Great Walks to Australia's vast outback national parks and pristine coastal wilderness. Both countries have strong outdoor cultures and take environmental responsibility seriously.

Department of Conservation (DOC) in New Zealand and Parks Australia both enforce Leave No Trace principles, and in many high-use areas, waste management requirements are strictly regulated. A portable eco toilet system is increasingly expected — and in some areas, required.

New Zealand — The Great Walks and Beyond

New Zealand's nine Great Walks are among the world's finest multi-day hiking routes. While the Great Walks have hut and campsite facilities, many of New Zealand's backcountry routes do not — and even on the Great Walks, a portable system is useful for day sections between huts.

• 🏔️ The Milford Track — the world's finest walk, through Fiordland's dramatic wilderness
• 🌊 The Routeburn Track — linking Fiordland and Mount Aspiring national parks
• 🌲 The Heaphy Track — crossing Kahurangi National Park from the mountains to the wild West Coast
• 🥾 Backcountry routes — New Zealand's vast network of unmarked routes where facilities are non-existent

Australia — National Parks and Outback Adventures

Australia's national parks range from the tropical rainforests of Queensland to the red rock wilderness of the Northern Territory and the coastal heathlands of Western Australia. In many of these environments, facilities are sparse or non-existent — and the fragile ecosystems make responsible waste management critical.

• 🦘 Kakadu National Park — the Northern Territory's vast wilderness, with remote camping far from facilities
• 🌵 Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park — sacred red rock country with limited facilities outside the main visitor areas
• 🌊 The Kimberley — Western Australia's remote wilderness, accessible only by 4WD or boat in many areas
• 🚶 The Larapinta Trail — 223km through the West MacDonnell Ranges in the Northern Territory
• 🌲 Tasmanian Wilderness — the Overland Track and South Coast Track pass through some of Australia's most remote and pristine wilderness
