Hi folks
Planning an extended outback trip (3 months) covering QLD, NSW, SA & NT. Can anyone advise how to find out if a campfire is OK. Is this matter covered by State regs or local council re collecting firewood and indeed having a campfire at all. I would imagine a lot of
places I stop could be rural properties and where possible I would ask the landowners permission but as most of you would be aware you can't be sure if indeed you are on private property or not. I know Parks and Conservation areas are usually no and that is no problem but I must admit nothing beats a good old fashioned fire at night.
Thanks
Arlo

G'day Arlo,
I think it sort of depends on where you
camp.
We try to
camp where we know we can have a fire. We do most of our cooking on the fire if we can.
If we think we are camping in an area that might be popular to
camp, or a National Park, we grab some firewood before we get where we're going. Often any
camp ground, or area, that is
well known will be struggling to have enough firewood for the night.
The time of year you're camping would almost need a fire and you shouldn't have any fire bans.
If you're sensible you shouldn't have any problems in most areas either gathering or burning wood.
