Good enough reason to give it a miss.

If thats the way they want to get outside money for the town then giving them a wide birth seems like a plan cry

I have stayed in the park opposite the airport, no one has come around. That park is full most nights.
They do close the toilets about 4 pm though.

Two years ago I wrote to EVERY council member, personally knowing a couple, explaining that the money from GNs will certainly bypass Bundy. I did not receive one reply! Bundaberg was our home since 1883 & am ashamed of the attitude. Council, at that time, owned 3 of the van parks. We left there in 2006 & fortunately we have rellies to park with when we do return there. I urge members to get onto council web site, get the councillers names & write to them all immediately as I intend doing. I have even named towns welcoming free camping on the outskirts.

Well isn't it amazing how rumours start. I have lived in Bundaberg for 30 years and have never heard of of $500 fines for camping overnight. The only parking inspectors are for the CBD where they have timed parking zones like many other towns and the fines for infringement are no where near $500.

While Bundaberg is not the most RV friendly town in Australia with regard to camping facilities outside caravan parks there are several camp sites in the area which are used regularly and they do have a dump point in town.

I hope they have a sign at the town entrance to advise us GN so we can continue through.
A town with a negative attitude to us staying on their area get no money from me, not even fuel as I mark the town in my camp book as well as I have a file in my GPS and as I enter the town it gives a warning so I know to continue through.
You can enter the towns into a spreadsheet and then add to your GPS and then use the manual distance option and put in the largest area you can get. This way you have a warning before you enter the town.
I prefer to not go to QLD anyway and keep my travels below the NSW / QLD border.
I know many of the GN working within Blazeaid prefer to not go to QLD when doing voluntary work due to the attitude of many of the QLD towns and councils.

That is going a bit far by totally avoiding QLD!
My 2014 copy of GUIDE TO FREE CAMPSITES AUST .
There is an almost 1/4 page advert here stating

BUNDABERG REGIONAL COUNCIL
NO OVERNIGHT STAYS
THE CAMPING IN VEHICLES, TENTS, CARAVANS
IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
PENALTIES APPLY
PETER BYRNE
CEO.

My suggestion is to bombard the council with "snail mail" which will have to be read out at council meetings.

Thanks for posting that Oma - might just have to get out the pen and paper, I reckon!

sandsmere · Guru

Thanks oma . I'll drop Mr. Byrne a line .

Reckon Bundaberg is an ordinary sort of place anyway though . cry

bill12 · Guru

I think they should change the name to Blunderberg.............Bill

SnowT · Guru

The Reason I asked what the Penalty was, As I could not find it in the council's listing of cost, that they have posted on their website..

If you want to have a Look I have Posted a Link to the File, it's 2mb's if you want to read it..

Bundaberg Council also own Moore Park Caravan park near Bargara. You cannot book there unless you produce a vaccination certificate for your dog. I thought we defeated tne Nazis. Seems they are alive and well ensconsed in Bundy Council.

Fast moving topic, almost 11 years between posts...

"It is mandatory in Australia to vaccinate your dogs. The vaccination policy not only protects your dog from the viruses, but all other the dogs in your community."

Is the requirement not to drive after consuming a certain amount of alcohol Nazism?

Is the requirement that cars must undergo annual roadworthiness checks (NSW) Nazism?

Some people don't deserve to live in Australia!

So protecting dogs from diseases in your mind is the equivalent of killing millions of people? That is some stretch. Lots of caravan parks require vaccination certificates for dogs, sensible people want to keep both their own and other peoples dogs safe.

I'm not getting the hate for Bundaberg, the majority of places have fines for people illegally parking and they do have some choices in free/low cost camping available. Free there is the Lions Park and low cost there is the CMCA park, plus other choices a bit further out of town. This is more than many coastal towns.
