My Q
Are "heat beads" charcoal?... no?
Is charcoal wood.... yes?
"me is confused"
They do contradict themselves a bit.
Are fires permitted?
No. Campfires are prohibited on K'gari.
This fire prohibition was implemented to:
prevent burn injuries
prevent escaped camp fires becoming wildfires
reduce rubbish, debris and environmental scars left by camp fire sites
reduce the risk of introduced pests and diseases being brought in with fire wood
prevent impacts of firewood gathering upon local ecology.
The only exception to this prohibition is in the communal fire rings provided by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service at Dundubara main and Dundubara group camping areas, and Waddy Point camping areas (top and beachfront).
Campers wishing to use these fire rings must:
be aware that no firewood is provided at these sites
bring clean firewood—not bush wood—such as milled timber off-cuts, and firelighters for ignition, as collecting wood or kindling from the national park is an offence.
No fires permitted when QPWS-declared fire prohibitions or total fire bans are in place.
How can I cook without a fire?Bring fuel or gas stoves for cooking.
A fully enclosed cooking or heating appliance, preferably using gas or fuel, can be used at all camping areas unless a total fire ban is in place.
The appliance must use only manufactured fuel.
It must be used for cooking and/or heating only.
It must be 20cm off the ground.
Manufactured fuel does not include timber or wood. Appliances that are not fully self-contained, such as braziers, are not permitted.
All appliances, materials and fuels (e.g. heat beads) must be removed from the national park on departure.
looking at the
purple bits..
Wood might not be wood if it has gone through a sawmill and become timber..... but you can't have it anyway because its still wood
