Camped in many types of free camps, if you go by the Camp Books and Apps, lots state you must contain grey water, I think I've found a couple that actually do with a sign at camp area..................Places like Brown Bros Winery free camp, Temora Railway Station and others located in town require fully self contained so some form of grey water retention is needed, which is understandable some places ask you to put it around a tree, I think the biggest problem is the stupid people who just let it flow all over the place, camp for a week and don't move the hose, the next person turns up to a swamp, places like Bulahdelah definately need it or it would be a smelly swamp.................
I built a GWT out of PVC pipe, my grey flows into the tank and will contain about 90 lts, more often than not it free drains to water a tree but the hose gets moved around, if I do contain I usually bucket it around a tree of an evening, on the rare occasion I move off with some in the tank, I just pull up down the road and water a tree.........some tend to verge on hysteria regarding the grey water, they usually haven't a clue why though ......... there's still lots and lots of Septic Soak systems out in the country which would scare the crap out of them.
Not to mention a lot of country towns with Dump Points don't want you dumping grey water in their tanks because they dont have a sewer, its a pump out and at $300 or more it can be a costly exercise, mostly common sense dictates what should be done............ most of the camps that have signs that take 5 mins to read the DON'T list I bypass as they are usually full of ding bats........... We used grey water at our old place pumped from out grey tank onto the lawns or garden for over 20 years and the septic hopefully didn't flow too far but kept the gum trees alive, no town anything at that place other then electricity...........no extra arms or heads so wasn't too harmful.......................but I can count to 22.
