Braidwood freecamp vandalised.
Permalink  

Hi everyone, just an update on Braidwood NSW freecamping site, number 693 Camps book Number 5. Located on the Shoalhaven river, it is a beautiful location however due to vandals you should have a portable toilet if planning to stay as the long drop has been totally destroyed with some moran taking to it with a shotgun! Dont let that put you off if you would like somewhere nice and quiet with lovely views. Cheers ozi2

It just is so sad that people can stoop that low to do that kind of vanderliziam. And to use a gun in a place like .Makes one wonder how much of this sort of behaviour goes in places like that and we never hear about it.Hope they don't decide to close it down.

Oh Dear. Awful to ruin a nice spot, but the method of doing it is scary... dont like to think of somebody firing a shotgun repeatedly in a camp area!

 Stupid idiots. Why do they have to ruin it all for others.

 

I have highlighted a piece of your statement, Couldn't help but notice the content was contradictory in a very funny way.

You are right Marj, peace and quiet and shotgun don't normally appear in the same sentence.....Perhaps he had a silencer ?

One of the unfortunate facts of life. Morons exist. I'm not sure what the answer is to controlling mental deficiency. You can't rehabilitate a brain with a substandard IQ.

I have often thought when these type of people get to our age, will they think about what they did when they find things they have enjoyed ,vandalised by the younger [not always younger] people of their time...Some things I did when I was younger, I have regrets. Alan the Mongrel...

Why do you all assume it was a lout with a gun having a good time?

Maybe it was some woman getting even with her husband after a domestic over reversing the van, or

some one who found a snake in the loo, or

some one yelling " I told you what I'd do if you didn't put the b****y seat down", or

damage done after a feed of beans, and not gunshots at all, or

hail damage. or......................
