One again these thoughtless grubs are going to spoil camping in these sort of areas for the majority of people.

l arranged a catchup  & placed a bad beside a tree close to the fire to put my empties in  .
At the end of the weekend almost everybody had duped all there rubbish at that spot & left .
                    Not Happy  " Jan "
had to return with my work trailer to tidy up the site

This is one that I will never understand. It's a grubby act & it makes the beautiful spots ugly. If you can fit it in when going camping, why is it so hard to fit in when leaving?

This is usually young guys. They are out for their first trips without mummy telling them to clean up after themselves. So they "rebel" by leaving their Shit everywhere.

I can envisage a time will come where places like Fraser and Moreton Island; (to think about only a couple) - will have to have some sort of garbage tax on top of your barge price - so that clean up crews can be employed, and funded, to keep on top of the grubs' trash...

So the ferryman will be saying:

"Ok sir; now lets lets see....   .... returning on the 14th - so that's 10 nights;  by err; (craning his head around to have a look see who's sitting in your truck) -- right, 4 people....

Yes sir - that'll be $299 please...   Yeeeees - thaaats right!!!!

its $99 for the ferry transfer return; and four of you at $5EA for 10 nights GARBAGE TAX...    At least that includes the $1.50 per head per night Admin fee"

... and we all LOL                  



(I don't think the garbage crews idea would be able/viable for any Work For the Dole Schemes - either   -- would cost way too much to       .... so it will be:  "pay up boys"

One thing I notice with those pigs that leave their rubbish everywhere.
They have Aussie flags and proud to be an Aussie stickers all over their cars etc, and they have absolutely no reguard for the country or their fellow countryman.
Who needs arseholes like that for countrymen.
And dont think their just younger ones, seen plenty of middleaged ones do the same.
Proud Aussies?
Pigs arse, their 2 faced lazy mongrels raising an even worse generation to come.

I'd be surprised if there were many on here that needed education on this...

The secret is not to just sit there and say nothing when you catch these feral grubs in the act. We should all stand together and shame these Shitheads into cleaning up and removing rubbish. The pressure from the majority will always win.

I know this is sometimes hard to achieve. It would be a good thing to have a feral stoppers hotline. Any more than two complaints to the registered owner and or any passengers associated with the vehicle should be banned from obtaining a permit anywhere in Australia. Wishful thinking I suppose but will never happen.  Had my winge takes for listening.

Down here we do have a Dob in a Dumper hot line...

Unfortunately this is happening in remote desert areas as well.

My wife and I drove down the beautiful Sandy Blight Junction Road recently and could not believe the number of abandoned burnt out cars lying beside it.  There must have been at least fifty.  Most were 2wd with a couple of 4 wheelers and a small bus.

A week later we were on the Gunbarrel and pulled into Camp Beadell.   The whole place looked neat and tidy except for the big hole in the middle that Len dug to change a truck engine.  There were dozens of bottles, cans. cartons etc in it.    That hole dug by that man in that camp site beside that road is like some kind of sacred site and people are using it as a rubbish tip.

I would like to have had the time to clean it up but we had to get out of there as soon as possible.  There were black clouds in the distance and the weather report that we asked for on the HF radio that morning said there was a possibility of rain.   I did not have the space in the car to to carry it back to Warburton but I thought a couple of hundred metres back in the bush would have been better than where it was.

It is a pity there was not a way to collect all of this rubbish left lying around the country and dump it on the offender's front lawn.

I work on the old hiking motto.
"If you can carry it in full, you can carry it out empty"
When we travelled recently through the Flinders and Birdsville etc, we carried all our rubbish with us till we hit larger towns like Leigh Creek, rather than leave it for a small town to get rid of.

Only thing that should be left at a camp site are foot prints.

Its not hard is it?
We have Wheelie bag on the rear wheel with a rubbish bin bag in it. Compress and carry to the nearest rubbish dump spot.

no it's not hard at all, that's what peeves those of us who do the right thing so much about it. Those who choose to be grubs, are just lazy $&@":

X2. On our recent trip, there was so many places to dump your rubbish the right way, I just can't fathom why people leave it at camp.

I know this is about camping, but just want to add this. In my little town the council provides nifty covered outdoor seating for people to enjoy their lunches, coffee or what ever. The council also have garbage bins nice and close to the tables for people's rubbish, and STILL some walk away from the table leaving their crap for someone else to take care of on their behalf.

Now I've got to wonder IF these ferals can not even manage to put their rubbish in a bin that's just out of arm reach, then what's the chances that they would leave a lovely camp site clean? I'd wager it's none and Buckley's.   

When I was camping along the Murray River, I recall being fed-up collecting other people Shite and transporting it to the bins.     After a while, in an attempt to keep my sanity, I simply stopped doing it.
