Gold!
And too many sniffling whingers for the amount of toilet paper provided too. With the increase in fees maybe they'll be able to afford more ...

Seriously though, without marked campsites it could be awkward for Parks Victoria to enforce this new regulation. However, a $2 per person charge has long been outdated. And back in the days when Max was doing his rounds, if you hadn't paid up it cost you an additional $2 for the night before, so that was a 100% surcharge for not doing the right thing.
The roads have all been graded (so much better for walking and riding the MTB now, let alone for those people who feel the need to drive a little way to access routes), a new well was bored out fairly recently and there are new toilets by the upper gums.
The $15 for six people is still half the price of camping at Camp IV in Yosemite and we don't have to worry about gun-toting park rangers ... yet: Camp IV
