<p>A positive story....although some comments bring back the painful reality of the internet</p> -
<p>Grey nomads freedom camp too</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plenty of freedom campers round East Cape without too many issues cos local Regional Council manages it properly</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I doubt its the freedom campers who are chucking old cars, fridges, TV's etc just off the road all over NZ. There's plenty of locals whose attitudes haven't changed in 50 years and who therefore think rural NZ is one large refuse facility.</p>

<p>As for boaties.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This whole issue smells of media beat-up to me. Yeah there's some asswipes who give the majority a bad name but I don't think overall the situation is as crappy as portrayed in some outlets.</p>

<p>This bit made me chuckle:</p>

<p>"The hut is fully equipped with a working sundial in front and shell artwork inside."</p>
