After the announcement on last weekend on public Television......
The Victorian Government have scrapped the fees they brought in last year and we once again have free camping g in most of our National Parks. :woohoo:

You can go to the mountain side or in parks or in place that you haven't been of.

There are still some parks that have retained a fee.
