Fraser Island question

Funny that this question should come up as my girlfriends brother was talking about it last night.
I therefore went exploring on the net this am!!

QPWS says

No fires except in designated communal fire rings at designated campsites. They stopped supplying firewood on the island in October so you have to bring your own and they have banned open campfires from this month.

No Gennies as its a national park. Didn't read this on the web though. I've just been told it by others in the past.

Gday John, got this from the EPA website:

Generators -

May be used by beach campers, providing that the noise does not disturb other campers. Please be considerate of others and minimise use after 9pm.

Are not permitted in any of the QPWS campgrounds.

Are not permitted for use on any other part of the park.

Cheers

Al

Yes I didn't see it on the website so thought it may have been a grey area.... i.e not policed by rangers...?

This came off the EPA Wesite as regards firewood:

Firewood and open campfires
Visitors are encouraged to bring and use their own fuel or gas camping stoves to help Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) in its attempts to reduce the high numbers of burn injuries related to open campfires. The policy on open campfires also aims to reduce the risk of wildfires caused by campfires and helps create a clean-air camping experience on Fraser Island.

QPWS will:

prohibit open campfires except in provided fire rings from 1 February 2005.

cease providing firewood to Fraser Island from 31 October 2004

QPWS provides communal gas barbecues at:

Central Station day use area,
Waddy Point day use area,

Dundubara day use area and campground.
Campers who want a campfire in the communal fire rings provided, must bring their own firewood. However it must be untreated, milled timber (e.g. mill off-cuts), not bush timber, as this reduces the risk of introducing foreign pathogens and other pests into the park. Visitors are reminded that all flora in protected areas, including dead trees or fallen limbs, is protected by law and therefore cannot be cut or collected.

QPWS provides communal fire rings at:

Waddy Point beachfront campground
Waddy Point campground
Dundubara campground

I think I might find another spot to visit in March.
