Hi Alan,
I find this interesting as there are no signs anywhere along the way (correct me if I'm wrong please) at any of
the entrance points making you aware of this. If the shire had come through at
Easter they would have made a fortune as the dunes and beaches were packed with campers.
There are no warnings anywhere saying this is not allowed and until such times as there are I will continue to enjoy the area and
camp there. If I am fined I will contest it. The shire sees fit to put signs up everywhere else you go saying you can't do this or that which is fair enough but it is then not unreasonable to assume that when you do not see signs that camping is in fact OK. It has to be across the board.
Also, if the shire were doing regular patrols there would not be half as much litter there from people who have obviously been camping there for quite some time. They probably just say they are to deter you from going in there but are likely too busy (or lazy) to enforce it.
I will not accept a fine where there is no clear and visible information outlining that you will be fined if you
camp. No one would pay a
parking fine if they got pinged for
parking somewhere where a "no parking" sign was visible so this should not be any different.
Thanks for the follow up.
Craig
