Ian there are other locations we go to besides Bretti, just keep watch on the NSW Informal Camping thread is the Star Parties sub-forum.
Where ever you choose to go camping (outside of well organised astro events where your paying a fee for exclusive access and services like accomodation, power, etc, you run the risk of finding 'bad' people, and free camp reserves like Bretti don't have exclusivity in that regard ( you can find them in five star accomodation as well). I have only ever heard of two incidents at Bretti (including yours). You could go another 100 times and never have a bad time but that would be little comfort to your wife, and I understand that.
Perhaps one of the well organised events like SPSP, the Snake Valley camp in Victoria, or Qld Astrofest would be more suitable. If you do choose to do more informal astro camping then go in company of others from this forum. Good luck.
