Each year, a committee of stalwart Goons gathers forces and plans an epic four-day gathering at scenic locations across Victoria, Australia. Tough Guy Book Club Camp is a weekend of flying axes, bonfires, beer, hikes, whiskey-tasting, talking shite and meeting up with Goons from across the country. Maybe even one day the globe!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When to buy a ticket?
Ticket sales generally open a few months before camp and can be purchased from our store link on this page. If you are thinking of coming to camp, we encourage you to buy your tickets ASAP. As of this year we will be putting a capacity limit on ticket sales due to the increased attendance. Final payments are due two-weeks before camp and we’ll make sure to let you know to fix up any outstanding amounts. See here for the full ticket sales Terms and Conditions.
Is there anywhere else to find out more information about TGBC Camp?
All those who have bought all or part of their ticket will receive a camp information pack with more detail on what to expect from the trip, what to bring, and what to plan for. We will also have an event page on Facebook for interested and attending Goons. This is the best place to ask questions, connect with others coming to camp and stay up to date with the latest camp information. Find the latest event here: See our Facebook Event
