We usually
camp in the Avon Wilderness/
Licola area, but as the handbrake had never seen
Toorongo Falls we decided to overnight near there last night.
We looked at several spots on the
Loch River which were nothing short of disgusting ........ rubbish bags piled in heaps, old bbq's, damaged chairs, "Please take your rubbish home" signs ripped out & burnt. We usually end up taking more rubbish
home than we create ..... but this would have been impossible! We would have needed a full blown garbage truck.
Eventually we camped at
Toorongo Falls, bit touristy, but
well worth it. The work done by DSE there is a credit to them. The walking track to the falls is magnificient, as are the facilities at the car park &
camping area, although there was still a fair bit of rubbish left by previous campers.

The thing that amazes me is how fast some people can create a mess after an area is cleaned. Up here in the Top End we have an annual cleanup known as the Wet - most of the crap left behind by those mongrels who don't give a damn about the environment is washed away by floodwaters and the runoff, but unfortunately it ends up being deposited somewhere else.
Last weekend I took a run out to one of my favourite billabongs near the
South Alligator River and by the look of the tracks in, I was only the second vehicle out there since the rains stopped - the first one in had left empty VB cans, plastic Coke bottles and by the look of things had had generally emptied years of assorted rubbish out of his vehicle. To say that I was not happy is putting it very midly.
