My Son went to Barmah yesterday and a fair bit of wood around:
Restricted Firewood Collection areas
This year, a new system will be introduced in River Red Gum parks, reserves and forests to ensure local residents are given priority access to their local firewood.
Firewood collection in River Red Gum parks, reserves and forests along the Murray River will be restricted to residents from certain Local Government Areas.
Firewood collectors may be asked to prove their address when collecting firewood. The restriction to residents only applies to the following sites:
Robinvale Firewood Collection Areas: Residents of the: Rural City of Mildura and Swan Hill Rural City,
Barmah Island Firewood Collection Area: Residents of the Shire of Campaspe, Moira Shire Council and City of Greater Shepparton, and persons who are, or are eligible to be, members of the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation,
Cobram Firewood Collection Area: Residents of the Moira Shire Council, and persons who are, or are eligible to be, members of the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and
Gunbower Forest Firewood Collection Area (DELWP managed site): Residents of the Gannawarra Shire Council, Swan Hill Rural City, Loddon Shire and Shire of Campaspe.
Victorians with a current Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Veterans Affairs Gold Card can also access firewood at the restricted sites.
A Community Information session on firewood collection in northern Victoria and the Northern Victoria Firewood and Home Heating (NVFHH) project will be held in Mildura on Sunday the 3rd of April from 10am to 1pm at the Education Centre at the Mildura Eco Village.
Information Sessions will also be held during March in Nathalia and Shepparton on dates to be announced.
For more information on firewood concessions and DHHS Non-Mains Energy Concessions call 1800 658 521 or visit www.dhs.vic.gov.au/concessions (http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/concessions)

Who's coming along as my assistants to get the benefit?
I need some more now, and a 12'x6' will only hold so much.

Just wait for the greens great idea of turning the central highlands state forests into the great central national park, might as well sell the trailbike, chainsaw and rifle.
They don't need firewood in the coffee shops of Brunswick.

Atleast you can collect wood! Totally banned in SA's forests. Ive got a farmer mate who lets me chop wood on his land..otherwise at last years prices its $380 a tonne delivered for redgum!

Reading the article it seems that firewood supplies are running low or due to run out in some areas... Surely a ban or restriction makes sense it that's the case? Or is it just a case of letting everyone use it all up until there's none left? "DWLWP’s Hume regional director, Christine Ferguson, said Mildura and Shepparton’s firewood supplies would be exhausted this year".
Not sure where the blame goes on the Greens? They're blaming the government for bungling the removal of the permits in 2011? (wasn't that a Labor government, and not a Greens Government?)
Sadly as population increases put pressure on the environment more of this kind of thing will happen. You can't just keep allowing anyone to go an get wood, its unsustainable. And it seems Commercial merchants have been caught stealing the wood from the land set aside for the public and selling it.
I can't see why permits can't work? In NSW you need a permit to get firewood from a State Forest, my FIL has been doing it for years. Each time he gets a permit he's given an area to use so they make sure the areas aren't overused.
