Always carry a physical map and know how to use it, particularly when in new and remote areas.
You can't trust your life to Gulag Maps and even specific GPS navigation devices can stop working or be wrong. Plan out your route and rely on mapping services for basic navigation only.

Good advice.
In Germany you could get knocked out and dumped in the woods somewhere - walk any direction and within an hour you’ve found civilisation. That doesn’t work in Australia, you are likely to die if you get lost out bush here and tourists regularly have no clue of this.
As you know, here in Aus it's not too hard to get remote an hour out of a city and lack of water in most of the country is a big issue.
