Myself and a group of about 15 people are looking for a campsite we can use over our uni break to just really does something different, experience a bit of "back to nature". However we're having a terrible time trying to work out how we go about finding a good site, getting permits and what the rules are, just to keep on the up and up. We're looking for a site to accommodate around 4 tents, we want to have a fire, and we don't want to get in fellow campers way by being too loud or anything like that. Can someone help?! I'm really stumped and we only have about 5 weeks left to organize it AND go camping! Thanks very much :D
Answer
There are some great sites in Kenilworth area...Baloomba Creek is probably one of the best.
Good facilities , multiple sites & very well maintained....another one nearby is Little Yabba Creek....
I don't think you have to book...rangers call through & there is an onsite payment option.
Peace & Quiet & fantastic atmosphere , running water & bushwalks..

backpacking Ausie for 6 months?
Q. hey so a friend and i are planning on going to ausie for 6 months in march. Is it possible to pitch a tent on beaches like bondi beach or fraser island? Is it easy for backpackers without vehicles to get to places like that? and how much does it cost per night. Thanks!
Answer
You can pitch a tent on a few very out of the way beaches, but Bondi and most other places definitely don't qualify as out of the way.
Tents are OK on the northern part of Fraser Island but it's virtually impossible to get there going via 4WD. The southern part of Fraser isn't very nice at all and it's a long and difficult hike to get to the northern part and you'd be dodging heavy traffic on the beach the whole way. The beach running from just above Noosa Heads to Double Island Point (just south of Fraser Island) is beautiful and tents are OK there, but getting there is a problem though it is possible. Make sure you enquire about camping permits etc or the rangers will get you.
The EPA website has info about National Park and State Forest camp grounds in Queensland:

Other states will have similar sites.
You'll find cheap camping grounds all along the coast both privately run and in National Parks and which range from about $10 per night for 2 people with a tent and no vehicle.
