Unfortunately there aren't any fines (unless you are caught actually dumping it) but never mind fellow four wheelers in the form of volunteers will devote their holiday time and expenses to help remove YOUR rubbish which you probably shouldn't have had out there at all.
Having towed a camper and trailers (filled with others rubbish) across a few times over the years yes a well built trailer will survive but it should be kept as light as possible with most of the load in the vehicle. Remember too that the Off Road Towing Capacity of your vehicle is nowhere near the rated on road towing capacity.
An example is a vehicle that has a 2.5 t on road towing capacity may only have a 750kg off road towing capacity.
If trailers continue to be abandoned in remote areas then of course one day we will all be prevented from taking them there regardless of how well set up it is.

We saw 2 dumped trailers on the QAA line when we came through on July 5th. One was complete with about 6 sauce bottles and about 4 water bottles. We heard at the Birdsville Hotel that the contents from one had been buried and the owners were returning in 12 months to collect them.

Also heard of a camper trailer left out ther as well.

So, with all these camper trailers dumped out there, why are people not driving out there with car trailers to bring them back and flog em off makin big bucks out of this??

If all they need is new drawbar and flog it off again....
