Holy Hell!
When you drive the Track and see how many sleepers are lying around, or still bundled in "pallets" which ANR were originally going to cart out, there is plenty of stock around.
It is far better to utilise these sleepers than cut down live timber.
We didn't stay at
Coward Springs and after reading comments on the
Forum since we returned, we're bloody glad we didn't.
Algebuckina Waterhole Campground (also on private land) allows campfires, as does the Caravan Park at
William Creek. (great spot to
camp)
To transgress slightly, we experimented with a different product and can recommend the fire logs, available in hardware and camping stores, and some supermarkets.
I had two bags of redgum timber (always a great campfire fuel) plus one bag of "fire logs". Our camping companions also had two bags of the "fire logs" and they are quite practical. They stand up to the promotional blurb on the bag that they burn hot, long and provide good coals at the end.
They are very compact and light compared to "real timber" (they are hollow logs) and will definitely be my choice for future "excursions". I estimate about four bags would take up the same room as one bag of timber and as they are light, are easy to lift/handle.
The price is about $9.95 per bag.
