There are plenty of free camping opportunities around Australia. Free camping usually doesn't involve camping inside campgrounds, you are more often on public land or using campsites specially designed for free campers. Which means that you won't have the facilities of a campground & you will have to make sure you have catered for them. But think of the freedom & the money you will save!
