    Yeah me too, but unfortunately those places are getting fewer & fewer. It wasn't long ago for example, that the Gibb River Road was a wild place, where 4wd'ers could experience real adventure, camping pretty much anywhere in the bush along it's entire 600km length that they wished. Today it is impossible to do this, no camping signs in plentiful supply, & camping only permitted in expensive camp sites & a couple of National Park campgrounds.

    I haven't been up to the top of the Cape York yet, but have heard it described as a 'busy highway', no doubt camping spots are far less there than just a few years back.

    These are just two examples, but there are many more, and of course we all have to travel to get to these places & need somewhere to stay on our way to our destination.

    From my perspective I also think it reasonable to consider the needs of others, not just what suits me.
