Bring back the generator ninja, he will fix it

He didn't go anywhere, he is lurking in the shadows...

When they leave camp, pick up the generator, throw it in the ocean

When they come back complain that someone stole you gas bottle and ask if they are missing anything?

[swoffer]

Honestly , much ado about nothing IMO .

I dont use one but dont give a rats if others do . Seriously if you cant overlook the quiet hum of a modern genny , you are just way to sensitive .
Now , one of those screamin GMC (or whatever ) 2 bangers from Bunnings ? Thats a whole nuther story .

Mitchell Falls, one section gennie and one section no gennies allowed. I am in the gennies allowed section. Bloke walks up and asks if he can run the gennie, I say you are allowed to. He says dad is on oxygen machine and needs it to live. Why would anyone say no, gennie allowed or no gennie allowed.

This makes sense.  Bit like smoking and non smoking!  And no I am not a smoker but we won't go there!!!

Hope my connection holds...wireless with loads of kids all gaming.

OK the couple who were using the gennee did not need it for health reasons unless not having a satellite TV and microwave oven are a health issue. I would never touch anyone else's gear, I am a licenced security officer and do love my job so I don't need the police tapping at my door. I did speak with the male of the caravan and informed him that Gennie's are not allowed because it is a nature reserve and that all the grounds are protected, his response "if places don't have power you should be allowed to use a generator" now the area that the CT's and van's are allowed in is small ie if you spoke slightly loudly you can hear what is said clearly, so it is impossible to run any gennie without everyone hearing it, in total there are 5 site's for CT's and vans to share, the other issue was that because this person/s used his gennie another van that arrived Saturday afternoon also started there gennie but after the ranger spoke with them they left the camp ground.
All my wife and I wanted was to sit by our fire enjoying a cold drink and watch the night skies for satelites and to spot some of the night time locals who visit the camp sites - possums and bandicoots.

Cheers

I found the same issue.  It does stay in your memory though about whether you will visit a site again.

Agreed.   I don't wish to intrude on anyone else's solitude and camping enjoyment, but if you intrude on mine, I shall get vocal and depending on the reply, things may or may not go well for you. 

There are Rules that we must all abide by for the well being and longevity of the planet and to assist in the getting along of all the folks and all of the critters. 

Don't start your generator if the signs says not to.   

Yes.  At a very quiet and peaceful rural setting in the dead of night, where the only sounds are birds chirping and leaves falling (and possibly possums licking your BBQ plate) ... your "silent" generator JUST ISN'T ANY MORE ... no matter how far away from your own camp and, as such, closer to my camp you put it.

Still waiting for someone to invent the 'Generator Stealth Cover - Rural Version' that tuns the new "silent" generators noise into the hushed sounds of birds chirping and leaves falling.

how many of you have a phone the can record video??? lots of you I'd bet, take a video of the offending gennie and when the ranger turns up and says he can't do anything because he hasn't seen or heard it running you produce your video and say now you have go do something about it please

.................after the ranger spoke with them they left the camp ground..............

So they weren't REAL bad, just naughty..........lucky for you Mr Ranger dropped in.

IMO, if the signs say "no gennies", that's it........

[McGirr]

While we are on about noise what about loud music being played at all hours of the night !!! Sorry should start a new thread

It says no generators allowed as you drive in and also on the form, if you had half a brain you would go somewhere else and run your generator, simple really in my view or ask permission from the campground owner, they may be able to put you somewhere your not going to affect others that don't need generators.

Why do inconsiderate people think they can just do whatever they bloody well want, inconsiderate people ****me2tears

Is it so hard to ask

Baz.

Yea, that just pisses me off. The sign says no generators so that's that, move on , go else where I don't care if you need it, you have to find another camp - simple!

[Crockett]

IMO, if the signs say

If you like signs just move to WA



 And regarding the offending gennie,,,, save your fuel,,,, charge "your" batteries and power "your" fridge, 2 bunnings extension leads, 50metres, $40= free power

if any one touched my gear they would know about it  trust me

Simple...don't do the wrong thing to p155 people off, & no one would need to touch your gear!

The topic & replies aren't about people just willy nilly touching/silencing/destroying etc others property, it's about a-holes who think they're special, beyond reproach & above everyone else.
If you think you fit into that category, then I understand your reply!

[dazzler]

Hi,
   use a lead pencil to draw a line from the top of the plug to the base.
It will be very hard to detect, and no amount of pulling on the cord will start the damn thing unless they clean the mark off or change the plug.


cheers
