Firewood - Western suburbs of Melbourne

[saint camp]

Good evening all,

My Mars camper is being collected on Friday! Ill post pics!

I am heading down the Great Ocean Rd for a test trip in a few weeks and will be making my fire drum this week from an old washing machine

Does anybody out west of Melbourne collect fire wood for their trips? where do you go and what are the rules/laws that I need to be mindful off? I obviously don't want to do the wrong thing.

I can get a trailer load of wood delivered for anything between $130 - $150 but Id prefer to get my own.

Thanks

Is this for household harvesting or for camping purposes.

I have asked the question about collect wood for a camp fire on other forums and it seems there are a lot of different rules even with in a general area

as a rule for any government controlled land you can only remove firewood timber from approved/designated areas and within the time period advised.  The key item here is the word 'remove'

In addition to the above if a camping area is approved for campfires (outside of total fire ban days) then you can usually collect and burn fallen timber, but 'not remove' it from the location.

You need to be banned from anything resembling a fire.
