For those that have not done the
Sundown National Park I would highly recommend it. We did the drive on the weekend as per the Dirty Weekends away book and it was so nice to get out there and away from the big smoke.
Two questions I have that came up? Are you allowed to use dead wood from the park to make a fire? We didn't see any information regarding fire except for the information brochure at the
gate that said " be careful with fire" there was nothing saying we can't use dead wood? There was a heap of already established fire
places that we used but I want to get others opinions.
Then secondly the truck has developed a whistling noise...this noise is apparent when the car is moving and you have it in any gear, the whistling gets loader as you go faster but if you put the clutch in the whistling goes away.
Thanks

Troll i'm pretty sure that collecting wood from a NP is a no no, something to do with desturbing habitat, it's a BYO policy,
well that's how it is in NSW, i would imagine NP QLD is the same.
I agree about the trust bearing too.
If the noise goes away when you push clutch in it's the thrust bearing.
If you have a noise is there when you push clutch in it's the main bearing.
either way it's a PITA

Hi Guys.
Interesting subject collecting fire wood.
In the NT it seems we have one rule now.
Kakadu has a policy that you cannot bring fire wood of any kind into the park,and you can collect fire wood in the park only from a fallen tree.
This now applies to all other N.Ps in the NT except Uluru and that is because you can't have open fires there.
Up until last year you could collect fire wood and take it into all NT N.Ps except
Kakadu which has always had the above policy.
On our resent trip through QLD, NSW, VIC, SA we were not able to have an open fire because of fire bans, but we did notice the different regulations on fire wood interesting.
Cheers Steve.
