I read today 23/10/13 that this State Government (Liberals) is going to charge for camping in the State Feorest's Upwards of $ 39.. per Night What a disastrous thing to do I though we collectively owned the forest...I realize some one has to clean up after some Idiot Campers But this is just another Cash Grab by Napthine and his cronies

Apparently Tidal River camping sites on Wilson's Prom will rise from $39/night to $52/night .... and I believe that is non-power

That is crazy stuff - there is of course Bear Gully nearby (which used to be free- not sure if it still is) - but it is a small area, and you have to ring and book a site. Wonder if you still have to go into a ballot to camp at Tidal River in the summer season?

Hmmm ?? Yeah not good, ?? But I thought ''National Parks were Federal Run ?? But I may be wrong ? They say that there is a $10 million dollar shortfall in the cast of running the Parks "" now we have to pay ??
If only Brumby and his cronies had not built that Desalination Plant, That is costing 1.8 Million dollars a day to run, [ on standby ? ] We could be using that money instead ?? Instead of running the Plant for 6 days, We could use our National park for 365 days a year

Is this only in Vic?
we went to Tidal River 3 years ago and it was $55 a night with power, if I had been in the office when Mrs W paid I would have told them to stick it but I had to wait with the van.
Still a ballot in TR during summer months
what about Kakado, the last I heard visitors have to pay $25 per person but NT residents don't have to pay at all, while that situation exist's I will not go back there.

Hey Dazren, you pick'n on our Desal Plant? I had to put up with all the damaged roads, noise, stock shortages in the shops, rude people around town, pubs with no beer cos the workers took it all, trying to drive large buses around the site doing tours, shall I go on?
Come to think of it, the roads are still damaged. Bugga.
Stupid white elephant.

No catch bigW, as I said, I only make an offer like that to a good mate like you. It won't cost you anything as it will be free and I tell that for free.

Wombat ?? with me being your only true friend It is only fair to warn you that ever since Dougwe heard that Happywanderer [ Marj ] if given the choice of '' Ear Nibbling'' between wombats Ear or Dougwe's Ear ?? Marj's reply was Oh !! Oh !! Oh !! Definitely Wombats,
Now Dougwe has got a tinge of Jealousy in his Demeanor?? and is of the opinion that His Ears are the Most Nibble worthy Hence as a True mate I fear that Dougwe's offer of allowing you to park on his Lawn, is Not in your best interests, As some famous once said ?? ''Hell Hath No Fury like a Dougwe Scorned ''
