WE walked the dogs there a few weeks ago, stopped in the van in the car park. There were 3 motorhomes parked on the road. They, I presume, had stayed the night there because NT has stopped overnight parking in the car park & the pull-in further up the hill. In previous years (although out of season) there have been vans in the car parks but none on the road. The NT could raise some good meney here by charging a few quid to overnight. We would be happy to pay.
Mind you the NT has just by chance opened their own camp site up the road, I believe.
I get a bit tired of reading things like this. I don't understand why I should be treated this way just because I want to sleep in my bus sometimes. Why am I classed as some sort of second class citizen because I want to travel this land & explore the country in which I was born? What gives these people the right to feel they should protect the coast, or any other area, from myself or anyone else? These places are there for everyone surely. If I was a foreign citizen, or of Romany descent I would have more rights than I seem to have as a "free" citizen. What the he'll is wrong with this country? Why do our elected leaders seem to think we put them in power so they could suppress us while bleeding us dry at the same time? We aren't criminals surely, what do we do wrong that rubs people up the wrong way?....

It's insane. In an area of the country where much of the local economy is derived from tourism, the authorities see an increase in visitor numbers as a problem that has to be addressed.
They will be crying poverty when they make the place so unfriendly to tourists that everyone sods off abroad instead.
Don't bite the hand that feeds

By what means has the NT restricted parking in the lay-by up the hill?
It appears to be part of the highway and would surely need a Traffic Regulation Order to impose a restriction.
I didn't say it was a lay-by I said it was a pull in.
Street view
Yes, that was the pull in, it had a locked gate in place last time we were there. The lay-by is a bit further up the hill, that was still open.
I think I get the message....Locked gate & a no overnight parking NT sign too now.
