The Future Of Ningaloo Station

Mark I can agree with you in so much as there are some people who really do turn a place into nothing less than a sewage dump. I'm not quite sure how we can then suggest the the problem only exists with long term campers. My experience as a camper in other areas has been that the main offenders are people who visit an area on a daily or ad hoc basis and therefore have no sense of the importance of keeping it in a pristine condition as you and I and others of our ilk do. The stupid thing about it all is that there is no good reason for people to leave a place in a mess. I wouldn't even suggest that people bury their rubbish, only to be unearthed by feral animals and crows, but to take their rubbish with them to a place where it can be disposed of properly. My wife and I take our responsibilities as campers very seriously and I would encourage all campers of a like mind to do the same. Problem is we are often called upon to take more than our own responsibility, by picking up other people's rubbish, because having a sense of responsibilities for one's actions seems now to be a thing of the past for so many. The really sad thing is that those who act irresponsibly are a small part of our society, but they cause an awful lot of damage and anxiety for the rest of us. We hope to continue enjoying our outdoor recreation in the manner to which we have become accustom, despite the fools who make their presence so visible, although it is becoming more difficult, as mark has pointed out, to find a spot that has not been ruined in some way by others.
Happy camping,
Mike and Jan.

I am sorry Mark but it seems to me that you are saying that 'uncontrolled Government land' has become a dumping ground. We camp at winderabandi near Ningaloo stations boundary with the 'Gov land' Yes there is a noticable change in the rubbish left behind but on the station land we have found very little rubbish so we cannot understand how you can say that
winderabandi is "nothing better than a sewage dump"
We would hate to see winderabandi become like yardi creek,osprey bay,sandy bay camps etc with tarseal roads so every yobbo can get there and really ruin it, as they camp ontop of each other inside the fences put there by the DEC (calm)
