    mid·den *(mdn)
    n.
    1. A dunghill or refuse heap.
    2. Archaeology A mound or deposit containing shells, animal bones, and other refuse that indicates the site of a human settlement. Also called kitchen midden.
    [Middle English midding, of Scandinavian origin.]

    We saw something similar on Stockton beach and decided it was a "Bogan Midden"

    When we go camping, we make room for one of these, Bob

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Unfortunately in my experience it is more than a few.
    Also the sign isn't a Policeman it's just a sign and the pigs who defile our campsites have no care what a sign displays and trying to deal with them is futile in our "tolerant" society.

    It's a little funny that they have closed access to parts of Stockton to protect the Aboriginal middens. In effect they are protecting rubbish heaps

    At $100 each, that's almost cheaper than some caravan parks charge during peak season...

    So sad to see, but that's why they are banning camping everywhere.

    I was leading a drive through Zig Zag (Actually the day we met the D3/D4/RRS drive day crew) and had a few tag along suzuki's who joined that we didn't know. I saw a glance in my mirror of something being flung out of one of the trailing cars, I stopped everyone, got out and walked back to search in the bush, found the energy can drink that had been thrown and chucked it back into the car.
    Was maybe a 21yr old kid as a passenger, and when I flung it back in his car his response was, "ohh what ulair it's just rubish no one gives a sh^t bro"

    What else can be done?
    Sorry to say it seems to be mostly younger guys, and that is hard to say as I am 30 and most of the guys I 4x4 with are in their late 20's.
