Just spent 3 nights at Huggett's Crossing, north east of Heyfield, Vic with club. Very dry and dusty. One group of trail bikers (not kids, around 30 yrs) next to us. Other family groups about. Second night about 12.30am the bikers start racing around
camp site in 4wd, reving up bikes, loud music and foul language. Some fellas asked them to quieten down. Got verbally abused. Noise went on for 2 to 3 hours. During the day they had DVD playing, Xbox and music. What can you do about this? Had it before. Can't work out why people go to quiet bush to foul it up with noise and have no consideration for others.

In this day and age, your suprised about people not having concern for others?
While I agree 100000% with you about not needing xbox, capachino machine, etc this could have been their one holiday a year to get away and ride, drink and be merry.
After day 1, I would have moved, actually I would have probably moved when they turned up.
This is why I HATE going away on long weekends, it just aint worth it...

Had the same problems at Huggerts awhile ago.
11 pm one night a group of guys with mini bikes arrived and started to ride them around the
camp ground at 11.30 pm.
We were leaving the next morning and thought we would wake them as we left, they beat us to it 6 am they are out and riding around again.
Another group of trail bikers made the comment that these ar$eholes give all bike riders a bad name.
I tried to ring the Bush Telegraph number manned by parks, you guessed it number rang out.

Nothing worse than a bunch of blokes on the bleep stuffing it up for everybody else, sorry I've been in tough situations with mates who have done it where I feel like I am the only one telling them to behave, when they decide to go off. Not much you can do other than walk over and ask them in a very nice way to quieten down.? I know a Parks Vic
ranger very
well and he used to get very scared walking into certain
camp sites because of various issues. He used to secretly watch the
camp site before deciding whether it was safe to go in or leave it all together.! Once you are out in the middle of nowhere it can get hard to deal with.

I don't blame him. Even coppers are very wary these days, with good reason.

Maybe they are related to the scum that have rapidly destroyed this
camping area since the access track was "upgraded".
The DSE had put in defined camping spots, fireplaces & "bush" tables & benches.
All of the tables etc have been cut up & burnt, despite the fact that firewood is everywhere in that area. I passed through there the other day & hardly recognised the place for all the damage that has been done.
