Lets not keep it too secret.......
Fraser Island News
Extract from above with respect to 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 (old news, will = have):
- prohibit open campfires except in provided fire rings from 1 February 2005.
- cease providing firewood to Fraser Island from 31 October 2004.
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
