campfires in queensland

Um camp fires are allowed in some national parks, but only in specified places and only if you bring your own wood.

Or that is how I understand it at the moment.

cheers

Okay, I wasn't sure, but that is good to hear. All the ones I have been to have said no fires of any kind.

Nonetheless nothing stops you from having a campfire outside national parks if there is not a fire ban in place.

Common sense should tell you whether or not it is safe to have a campfire, fire ban or not.
If you have to ask in any situation then it's probably not safe.

Just my thoughts, remembering that "Common Sense" is not that common these days.

Camp fires are allowed in some National Parks as long as they are in the designated fire places.
At some N/Parks the Ranger actually supplies the fire wood.

Disco Driver, if there is a total fire ban FIRES ARE BAAAANNNNED. There's no common sense involved in that one!!

I really hope what you wrote was ambiguous!!

I am assuming (hoping) that Disco Driver meant that even when there is no fire ban in place, you have to use common sense about whether to have one. Not the other way round!!

Just want to say, we never light a fire during a fire ban and we are very careful even where/when fires are allowed. It is just that I had heard that only 'heat beads' or charcoal briquets were allowed in QLD at any time, no open campfires at all, and I wondered if there was more to the story.

GT Campers,
OK it may be ambiguous, but intelligent readers can understand what i mean.
To help you,this is spelt out slowly just for you.
Any one with a modicum of common sense would realise that it may be dangerous to light a campfire whether or not a fire ban has been declared.
Therre are times when there is no fireban declared that it would be insane to even consider lighting a campfire.

As I said "Common Sense is not all that common" and you have just proved it.

Cheers Disco.

well said DD

Hey DD, I'm happy I've clarified your error
