This is a paste from a response I had to a similar thread a while back that is relevant here too;
I am not recommending anyone plug a motorcycle tire, but here is what I did when I found a small screw in the center of the rear tire of my cbr250r.
It is plug patch that you install from the inside and pull outward seating the patch to the inside of the tire. The first picture is what it looks like from the inside. I think this is the only type of repair I would do on a motorcycle tire and I still consider it a temporary fix.
I rode on this for about 2 weeks while I waited for a replacement tire to arrive. It never lost air or gave me any hint of trouble but in the end I decided it wasn't worth the risk to save a few bucks on a new tire. I was more curious to see if it could be done.
I now keep a Stop & Go tire plug kit with the bike for emergency road side plugging, seems like the best design. I've tried it on a junk tire to see how it worked from the inside and looks like a solid design but I have yet to use it on an actual road use tire.

That you're camping in Australia reminded me of this recent post in which a blogger recommends this biker-focused swag tent. Seems to be a fair deal and while I have no experience with it the blogger reckons it's a good bit of kit as you Aussies might say ;-). Most likely you won't be borrowing your parent's tent. The car-camping type tents don't really get along well with motocamping. Sleeping bags and maybe the air mattress or sleeping pad are more likely, or a bit of cooking equipment. I'll throw out some random recommendations based on stuff I like and let you decide how it fits into your $500 =).
I find backpacking equipment seems to parallel motocamping equipment in many respects. You aren't as concerned about weight on the motorcycle, but you do need compact and reliable. You may want to consider a backpacker's inflatable sleeping pad, [this is the one I have] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANRW7DI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's no mattress but it insulates you from the ground which helps keep heat in, and it provides a bit of cushion too. It will fit inside the swag, a hammock, or any compact backpacking tent, and it packs up small. I have this tent which legitimately sleeps two as long as you don't mind being close (tested with my girlfriend) and should fit a twin sized inflatable mattress which would be substantially more comfortable than the camping pad I linked above. To make an addition to your luggage, I can't recommend a tank bag enough. I have this tank bag which is truly a bargain and should fit any motorcycle.
I would also check out Aerostich's Camping Section for some ideas. Being that you're in Australia I'm not sure if you want to buy directly from them unless you can't find an item anywhere but their website, but there are tons of ideas you can get from their store that you might not find other places.
Now I'll just list off several items I can think of that I like to pack for motocamping (most are small and multi-functional items, and a few specific get-my-ass-out-of-a-jam things):
Tire plug kit, some way to put air back in the tire (compact air compressor, CO2 cartridges, bicycle pump, etc), several feet of 550 cord (AKA paracord), extra bungee cords, extra cargo net, zip ties, electrician's tape, heavy-duty trash bags (maybe 3 or 5), a small supplement to my bike's OEM tool kit & a multitool, a first aid kit that includes bug bite relief (and anything else you might want specific to the area you're traveling), a sam splint & triangle bandage, a couple ways to start a fire (waterproof matches stored in a watertight container & a cigarette lighter usually), one or two of those mylar emergency blankets, a little mild dish soap.
You might not feel the need to carry all that on a 3 day trip but a lot of it is small, cheap, and multi-funcitonal. Trash bags are to keep trash under control at camp and emergency waterproofing for gear/people, so you want the thick ones.
Mushroom plugs are supposed to be better than worm plugs. There is a really good kit you can pick up at some motorcycle shops from a company called "Stop N Go". I've done worm plugs and haven't had problems. Keep an eye on tire/plug between rides for anything abnormal.
I carry the mushroom plug kit now, and won't hesitate to plug tires and ride 1000s of more miles.
Obviously the safest answer is to replace your tire. With that said, some have managed to go many thousands of miles using plugs on rear tires (specifically the temporary mushroom type plugs). Below is a link of a highly regarded temporary tire plug kit. THE NAIL MUST BE IN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE NOT ON THE SIDEWALL for this to work.

-Ideally if you can call around and find a mechanic to take off the tire and plug the inside of the puncture that would be a theoretically permanent and much more affordable fix than buying a new tire.

That is the kit I keep, along with my tiny little compressor.
Have you used it?
Found this, looks like it will help me in the future but doesn't really help me now.
Flat how? Got a puncture? Try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006NE3KE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used it on two different punctures, same back tire. Works well.
Carry one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Go-International-Plugger-Tubeless/dp/B0006NE3KE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412085910&sr=8-2&keywords=stop+and+go+plug I bought a pair of new bt45s. On my way home daily from work, there was a construction site and i picked up three nails one day and two another day. 4,000 miles later, the tire still holds air.
