fires in the Simpson

[monty]

Hi,
over heard some talk the other day that as of 2013 fires aren't allowed in Simpson, even taking your own wood in is an offence. Anyone confirm this? Has the Gastapo finally taken over Oz?
cheers

dunno about that , but i work out there and saw first hand the 2011 wildfires first hand , even watched the dry storm start them, may be the powers that be are trying to eliminate man made problems?

Didn't hear that either but would be interested to see if someone can confirm or not...
