Sounds like a scam to me. Permits are bought from the National Parks
mob, and Fraser Island is owned by the State apart from a few small
pieces under private ownership or lease.

Fraser island is being closed to individual travellers coming on the island
approx 80% of the island is already closed I was on the island the last 2
days and found the access to Champaign pools closed and the upper end of Eli
creek supposedly "tempora closed" but I have never seen national parks
reopen anything after a tempory closure but since last xmas camping at lake
McKenzie , Dilli village and Indian head has closed and more sections of the
main beach and they announced aprox 2 years ago that hook point would close
in 2004 and there isn't much of 2004 left

They can partially close the island, or refuse permits if there is a
problem on the island, like the algae blooms in 2002 which can affect
people/animals etc. They can also close individual camping places.

Dunno why a brumby watch mob are 'advertising' permits anyway... to my
knowledge, brumbies are considered a pest on the island's great sandy
national park.
