Tough Guy Book Club Camp
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!
TGBC Camp 2024 is on the horizon!
So why come to camp
Because camp is bloody awesome, that's why! Your ticket covers the cost of accommodation, food, beer and a bunch of activities that we’ll put on too.
