Deeno, just go out and buy a Camps 5 or the new Camps 6 book, available at any news agency, book shop, camping places, or anywhere where maps are sold.
It, the bible for travelers as it is known,  will have every free camp spot in Australia, the location, what is available there, and the new Camp 6 has even got pictures of the place.
A must have book for anyone wanting to travel on a budget.

Some friends have the Camps book and find it very useful for their van. I'm going to get it but I'm less sure how useful it is for tenters. The only negative I've heard about the book is that you will wind up sharing the place with 20 others who also have the book. We spent years on the road without paying and got very good at sniffing out a free spot (with only a few disasters). But I can see the advantage of knowing where to go rather than searching up and down back roads.
Leon, I am wondering whether to get the plain version or the one with photos. The problem with the photo one is that it is B4 (rather than A4) and I'm not sure where in the car I could keep it. How representative of the camp site do you find the photos?? I'm concerned that you could make a carp place look good or you might not see the one good spot in an otherwise poor area.
