About Best Hammock Australia

Best Hammock Australia was born from a simple observation: finding quality information about hammocks in Australia was surprisingly difficult. As a group of outdoor enthusiasts who had spent years camping in the Australian bush, testing hammocks across every terrain from the tropical rainforests of Far North Queensland to the windswept highlands of Tasmania, we knew there was a need for reliable, locally-focused hammock guidance.

Our founding team includes experienced bush campers, backyard relaxation experts, and gear testers who have collectively spent thousands of nights suspended between trees. We understand the unique challenges Australian conditions present: the intense UV exposure that degrades cheaper fabrics, the humidity that can promote mould growth in natural fibres, the specific tree species that make ideal anchor points, and the weather patterns that influence what insulation you need for comfortable overnight use.

What started as a shared spreadsheet comparing hammocks we had personally tested evolved into this resource. We realised that the questions we asked ourselves—What hammock fabric works best for beach camping? Which suspension systems are truly tree-friendly? How do you stay warm hammock camping in the Victorian high country?—were the same questions thousands of other Australians were asking.

Today, Best Hammock Australia serves as a comprehensive resource for hammock education and product guidance. Our team continues to test new products, explore new camping locations, and refine our recommendations based on real-world Australian conditions. We maintain relationships with hammock manufacturers and retailers, staying current on new products and technologies entering the market.

We believe the right hammock can genuinely improve quality of life. Whether you are seeking a few quiet minutes in the backyard after work, planning a multi-day hiking trip through national park wilderness, or creating a cozy reading nook for your children, the perfect hammock exists for your needs. Our mission is to help you find it.
