A few days ago whilst working outside, Bassendean (Perth), a Winnebago pulled up opposite by the park. A few minutes later a terrible odour wafted across the road. It was a septic smell, anyhow the Winny took off and I looked across and you could see this liquid around the storm water drain, I went across and it was sewage content. Jumped into the POOTROL and chased him down the road, flashed lights at him but he just kept on going. Got his rego number, it was QLD plates (I would dearly love to display rego number on the forum), went to the Shire gave details and they came out confirmed raw sewage and they have passed his rego onto the police, the council said that they will go for a prosecution if they can catch up with him.
Soon it will be time to travel north for the winter sojourns, and it brings to mind the amount of rubbish being discarded along the remote roads and campsites, in a lot of cases it is 4Wdrivers as the areas are remote and not suitable for conventional vehicles. Most of us are enviromentally friendly and do the right thing we have our rubish bag that is attached to the spare wheel, (they are only $45 plus depending on how elaborate you want it), and what we take in we carry out, but it is that bleep minority "don't care" attitude that in some cases has lead to the banning of bush camping, closure of some camp sites and Station owners locking their gates. Nothing worse than pulling into a bush campsite and there are those filthy disposable nappies etc.
There are a lot of travellers that visit the exploreoz site and we must thank David and his team for providing a fantastic forum, so if any of the minotiy read this hopefully they change their habits for the good of the 4Wdriving community and the environment
There, I am off my soap box. Happy 4Wdriving and please take your rubbish out with you. that is for the bleep minority.
