Comment: Free Camping - What is the real cost?

This is good Landy. So far more rational discussion than when this subject is discussed on the forum. But I would like to make a comment and ask a question.
I wonder if readers of ExploreOz realise that the exercise in Tasmania is being carried out under National legislation. Every state in Australia has signed up to the pricciples of fair competation. That means caravan parks on the mainland can make the same complaints against councils as were made in Tasmania. Some may have already done so.
Now the question. I can't stay in a park cabbin as I drive the Simpson Desert so should people who like to sleep in a swag beside their vehicle expect to do that on the Gold Coast?
