VIC - Campers and homeowners banned from collecting FIREWOOD in NP and public lands

[mudski]

Sheep Yards Flat is a good eg, there is not a twig
or tree root within 5 K of this Iconic camp ground.
This particular trip while stopping for a toilet break.
we decided to fill my trailer with any wood along the way.
Very glad we did to

Just gotta look better. Never had an issue there. Most people don't look too far from the road I find. I found this last week at Dargo. There was a few other campers nearby, they all took off with a trailer to get wood. An hour later they were back with some, not a lot though. They said to me that because it was busy of the easter weekend its harder to find. I just grabbed my chainsaw, walked across the road and up the hill not even 50 meters and there was oodles of wood to be cut. Dragged back a few long lengths t camp, cut them up and I was set.
Never heard of the ban in Vic National Parks though.
My last trip up Cobram way there was so much dead wood around I can see it being a real fire risk during summer. Like this property I looked at near AB's. Bloody beautiful area, awesome house. But.One of their rules was you wern't allowed to collect any fallen or dead wood from the ground. The amount of wood on the ground was astonishing and my first thought was the fire season. We would spend half the season living somewhere else in fear of being natures marsh mellow. No thanks.
