Comon campers get your act together

Hear hear. Trip wasn't really spoilt but it did make me wonder

Yeah same. We drove a long day going back home from the Phillip Island bike races a couple of years back and pulled over on a roadside rest stop, threw the camper out and crashed. When we woke in the morning we found ourselves waking on bum fodder. YUK! What is it with these people? I agree with you in that people need to get the basics right. Why do they go camping in the first place. Not to look at that I am sure.

As Derryn Hinch once said, "We treat our country like it belongs to someone else"

G'day Mark E ~ and good day to all the ExplorOz members and friends, the answer is quite simple ~ Respect or in this case lack of respect.

In cases like what have been described it really is a blatant lack of respect for health~ hygiene and total respect for fellow travellers who will follow them into the wilderness area at a later time. It can well be the thin edge of a wedge, giving someone or some corporation the reason needed to shut everyone out.

Mining companies just love it when rules are pushed to the breaking point by mindless actions on their mining leases, most of outback Australia is covered by some form of lease and access to some of the "Holy Grail" destinations can and usual are compromised by people doing the wrong thing and not respecting the privilege of being there.

Just a couple of days ago, I took a tour geust out to the very remote Hickman Crater which was only discovered in July of 2007 ~ undiscovered and untouched by modern man prior to 2007, now adventurers like us who enjoy the freedoms our 4wdriving skills and equipment give us are crapping all over the place, I won't insert images of the scene because we have all seen it before ~ in the outback ~ highway parking bays ~ walking tracks and anywhere people who do not respect anything or anyone else happen to go.

Very sad really.
