Q re camping around Cobram

To the contry Lindsay, the Labour Party aren't stuffing up another place, all the campers are. Unfortunate as the new proposals are for the Red Gum Forrests its as a direct result of over camping, people burning all the firewood, cutting down trees, driving & riding cross country, causing erosion, defacating too close to the river & leaving their rubbish everywhere. I live close to the Murray & the forrest areas around there are certainly declining fast from overuse. Something had to be done. The majority of campsites will remain. The ones to close are on thin stretches of bush where there is insufficient distance to dig pit toilets that wont leech into the river. A few areas (Barmah/Ovens River) that are to be declared National parks will have more formal camping areas. Unfortunately fires will now be banned alltogether in the National Park & in Summer in the Reserves.
It appears that campers indifference to looking after the area will now cost them with reduced access.

The beach is called ..Davies beach and has a sign post at the fork in the road(rather indistinct but readable)...the only people we saw in 2 weeks was a couple of trail bike riders and maybe two other couples just driving around.

Thanks Bruce.
We will head in that direction.
I did see Davies beach on google or wikimaepia but thought maybe good ole Dave had marked his own spot!
The idea of trail bike riders would put us off staying there for long! Nothing worse to our ears that the sound of motor bikes roaring over the sounds of the forest and river!

Dont let the fact that trail bikes were there put you of...they went past us in all of about 20 seconds and that was the first and last we saw or heard of them...we like the peace and quiet and do not like noisy bikes of any sort ...but to some they are music to their ears...it really is a nice spot and out of the way to boot....just a pity there was not much water in the river....cheers

Thanks Roger.
If we dont like the western isde of Cobram, may head to Cobrawonga.
Cheers, T & T
