Thread: Best place to buy tents - Brisbane?

Down Under camping at Salisbury (on Beaudesert Rd) usually has good Oz-Tent deals. When I say "good" I mean at least a little bit less expensive than other places - they occasionally offer bigger discounts but you would have to take your chances.

I have noticed Anaconda occasionally do deals on Black Wolf tents, but again like any quality product the discounts are usually rare and minor.

Tentworld is a good store as well for tents. And as competitively priced as they get.


Don't get me started on Anaconda. Their 'sales' almost only ever happen on their in-house crappy brands.

True, but, in June they had a general 30% off sale and that was on just about everything. My wife picked up a brilliant Columbia ski jacket for $mega off.

You could also try Anaconda for Black Wolf. They aways have sales and I got close to 45% off my Black Wolf Turbo. They have stores in Qld but don't know their locations compared to your locn.

I bought a Black Wolf Turbo 270 earlier this year from Down Under camping in Moss St, Slacks Creek. As good a price as I could get anywhere. "The Great Escape" camping store is across the road for anything they don't have.

Alright I will relay my Black Wolf and Anaconda story ... its a good one no bitching

Bought a BlackWolf Turbo 300 and they beat the Tentworld price by 10% - so that was $809 I paid.

After speaking to Blackwolf I wanted the new 2009 model with a few extra changes that were worth it .. so since I never used the tent Anaconda agreed to just refund my money order in a new one and pay for it when it comes in.

The young chap stuffed the refund and refunded the before discount price so I got $899 back.

When my new tent came in I went in and picked it up, another young chap scanned it in wrong and it came up as $259 .. I wasn't one to argue as I am such an agreeable bloke .. so away I went ..

So the final outcome was I got a brand new $1400 RRP tent for $169

Well I was sweating it a bit ... lol

But I thought they are the ones who have stuffed this not me, so I shouldn't be worried.

Oh and on the Blackwolf ... Brilliant tent .. I used mine every night for a month on the CCCCC trip. Found that you can leave the fly on and pack the tent up ... Whole thing including fly .. up in no more than 5 mins.
