Camp Fires in Qld (generally not permitted from end Aug to January)

I recently read some news articles and website for ruralfire(Qld), that you have to have a permit for any fires outside a proper cooking fireplace

(quote "In preparation for the on-coming fire season the Commissioner of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service has declared a Fire Danger Period from midnight August 29, 2010 to midnight January 2, 2011.
Declaration of a Fire Danger Period across the State brings a change to the previous situation where a small fire of less than 2 metres in size did not require a permit. During the fire danger period anyone wanting to light a fire will need to obtain a ‘Permit to Light Fire’ from their local fire warden who will assess the circumstances around each application and develop appropriate conditions or reject the application. A declared fire danger period has no impact on other categories of existing notifications that remain unchanged. This includes fires lit out-doors in a properly constructed fire-place for the purposes of cooking and those exemptions applicable to primary producers, including cane growers.").

This means no more fires when free camping and/or fires permitted in some camp grounds (not withstanding those specifically built for cooking) - don't want a lecture on fire prevention, I am just alerting those who may inadvertently lite their camp site fire not knowing the new rules (from this Sunday) in Qld.
