The Enchanted Canteen
Pheno runs a canteen that stocks cold drinks (water, sports drinks, coke, soft drinks, energy drinks) sealed snacks (chips, nuts, knuckle sandwiches) and sweets (chocolate, snakes etc) as well as the usual assortment of hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate)—ask about our discount for anecdotes!
Foraging
If epic munchiness ensues, Dickson shops are only 10 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive (plus finding a park for your ride) from Pheno. Dickson shops include a Woolies, Maccas, KFC, Ali Baba's, several takeaways, a couple of cafes (with internet access) and more Chinese and Asian restaurants than you can shake a stick at (my arm got tired after five). Dickson shops also includes autotellers, a chemist, a news agent, and service stations.

Howdy campers! Thanks to our friends in Tree83, we'll be providing a

swap stories with other campers of your experiences****, and enjoy some
of our fine restaurant cooked Campfire Cuisine.

*No actual flames will be permitted near the banquet.
**The campfire will not be lit. This is in no way connected to the
mysterious whispers that are rumoured to be heard whenever the fire is lit.
***The Lake Morph Lookout will be at least three kilometers from the
banquet, and thoroughly locked. Do not approach the Lake Morph Lookout.
****Please do not mention experiences involving mysterious murders or
vengeful ghosts that are just rumours, and definitely not a curse upon
the camp.
