G'day Alistair
It's the same on the west coast of Victoria. Summer campers and
visitors (and locals of course) totally ignore the signs about no
dogs, no vehicles etc. and do what they like. A group of us walked
the beaches from the SA border to Port Fairy and there were dogs and
vehicles everywhere. No policing. There are plenty of signs but
these are useless without policing and, as you say, penalties.
See

for an example of how things can be better and
www.oceanodunes.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=216&view=previous
for an example of the attitudes of the opposition.
I love this quote: "Obviously these enviro wachos are not Darwinists
(survival of the fittest)".
Apparently Hooded and Snowy Plovers etc. deserve to die out if they
can't cope with our dogs, quad bikes and Hummers.
