Gday...

Looks a bit like the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, sort of.

Google has a bit of info - none of it  seems to be indicating camping availability.

Here is where it's at -

[edit: as Jade sez, the dump point is on Nuttall Street (south of the bowl) - apparently this is the site where the NZ travellers were shot at last night. One would assume they 'thought' it was a camping spot. Recent news reports are a bit conflicting on just what happened and why.]

Cheers - John

Definitely not a sanctioned free camp. People do try to stop here from time to time but always get moved on if discovered.

Below is a news article, which did not come up on my news website

Snip from the latest newspaper article, as Sheba has already said, they caught the man

UPDATE | A 20-year-old man has been charged over the shooting in Rockhampton on Monday.

The man was charged on Tuesday afternoon with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous conduct with a weapon, possession of an unregistered firearm, possessing explosives (ammunition) and drug utensils.

EARLIER He has been taken into custody after someone fired shots at a campervan parked on Yaamba Road at around 5:00AM.

I have no sympathy for him, and hope that he is charged with attempted murder, as the police found a bullet, inside the campervan
