Can anyone tell me whether NSW and/or Queensland has an annual pass system for national parks like that available in WA? The WA "Annual All" pass (issued by DEC) is great value, especially at the $50 concession rate for seniors etc.

Qld doesn't have an annual pass. You must book each park separately for the actual period you want to go there :-((

Why is it a pity about Queensland? as far as I'm aware you don't need a permit to enter any National Park, but as the other states you must pay if you want to camp.

Hi Guys,

And don't forget in QLD you need a vehicle permit in some locations before you can take your 4wd in.

The only permits I am aware of is beach access permits which are required for Moreton, Bribie and Fraser Islands. You used to require a permit (which was free) to access some national park areas but that system was scrapped late last year I think it was. Permits are now only required for large or commercial groups.

Yep - had a look at the website and from what I can see vehicle permits are only needed for access to the "recreation areas" on those three islands. Presumably the recreation areas aren't just limited to the beaches.

Graham,
States like WA and Tas which charge entry fees for day use of Nat Parks, are the ones that have annual permits. You still have to pay extra fees to camp in their parks, though. To best of my knowledge, are not fees just to enter Qld parks, so an annual pass would be redundant (not sure about day fees on Fraser Island - may be an exception to the above)

Yes - Chris indicated in an earlier response that the only Queensland national parks requiring vehicle permits are Fraser, Bribie and Moreton Islands.

Permits are also required in NSW. I don't know about SA, Victoria and NT as yet.
