I agree.
We toured the Kimberley for 7 weeks a few years ago and often bush-
camped (legally) where appropriate.
I too love camping and also don't have unlimited funds to do every
tour and stay at every bird friendly place. Camping out means that
the birds are right there with you when you wake up and you can bird
from your tent - a very good hide).
I must admit that i just can't see the link between getting rained
out and not being supportive of the tourism industry.
Especially when these critical comments are the very ones that
discourage people from posting so we all end up poorer for it .
Especially as it discourages new birders who we should be encouraging
- if for no other reason than to boost the birding tour industry!!
(ha ha)

Colin,
I am with you 100%. Whatever level of accommodation a person uses
when they travel is completely their business and nobody else's. I
do not think there is any imperative, legal or moral, to spend as
much of ones hard earned funds as possible in every location one
visits.
I would certainly be in the bad books with Philip, as I now use a
camper-trailer and can live independently for nearly 3 weeks when I
go birding.
