It will be a sad day if the Murray has no free camping!

Yep they tried to close the Murray to all including, bird watcher, bike riders, horse riders.

Ulupna island is where I used to do a lot go my fishing and camping. It was a great spot until the grubs left rubbish everywhere. There are big bins on the way out to dump rubbish, but these idiots are even too lazy to do that...

Some good spots in the list. Some were always pay sites but seems they have hiked the fees up big time

Hello,
Are you aware that some of you already pay Parks charges on your water bills?
Do a google search or here's an example http://www.citywestwater.com.au/resi...explained.aspx

Looks like double dipping to me, also a petition if anyone is interested:

Yes I was going to post the petition link, beat me too it. Sign it guys. I have shared it with a few industry heavies so hopefully they will pic it up too.

Good to see you on here Bob and just signed it myself....

What I think is completely ridiculous is the notion of needing to pre-book a campsite via the internet......what if plans change and I need an unexpected stop for the night? I'm in the bush and don't have internet. How about when people who have booked don't turn up?
I don't see why we can't have a similar system to that at Murundindi where you can pay when you rock up.......or an annual pass like a fishing license.

Having a read of the link in relation to the Parks charge on our water bill, it would seem the parks charge relates to urban parks and gardens only.

I just signed the petition, but have to admit I didn't like their push for me to give them $100 bucks to share it with others. Almost need a petition against them trying to push me for money for signing the petition! It's interesting times, everywhere you go everyone wants more money, but I don't think the salaries are climbing to match it.

They started using that system in Qld just before we headed up the Cape last year. We had a few drop out of the trip but it was to late to make changes so lost their deposit. When we got to Kalpower it was a real mess with double booked sites although ours were booked 6 mths in advance. The rangers were great, just said grab a spot and agreed the system was hopeless - no Internet access to confirm bookings. While there and at other sites we saw travellers who were delayed and missed their booking dates. Very poor system with lack of planning - looks like we are getting it as well.
