Re post 9421 Mann R camping

The full front page of today's Glen Innes paper is taken up with the now prohibition of camping in any of the local PP TSR's. It (the PP board) cites for the Mann R 200 plus campers over Christmas, the resultant garbage left, dogs roaming loose, firearms being discharged, trail bikes on private property etc.
Well, if this is the case, good enough. I mentioned this location on this forum several months ago. Possible mistake made. But there may also be another factor, ie up until 3/4 yrs. ago nearly all the eastern side bush was state forest where one could camp, fish, fossick etc., with your dog (but please take it and your rubbish home with you) You would see forestry workers who would always say g'day, offer a few clues on the fishing etc. and generally help if it was needed. And it always seemed clean and garbage free.
But then a major change occurred, it all suddenly became "National Park" Lock the gates, get caught in there no g'day but a stiff fine instead. Barricade all the fire trails (a no brainer that one) and for the ones they do let you in a hefty entry fee applies Perhaps this is why campers have now adopted this type of behavior.(sad if true)
So for this area at least, what should be PUBLIC land available to all is now PRIVATE land with a $500 fine (todays rag) if caught camping there.
I cant help thinking an uprising must be due!
