I think it's more like $15 US at the current rate (possibly slighty less). Still, I saw campsites in Victoria in 2002 charging up to $19/night. No wonder some people try to freecamp wherever they can. Great thing about Tasmania is that there are a lot of places (particularly on the West Coast) where this is still possible. I think I paid for two camps in 10 days at one point -- and those were particularly nice campsites.
