On the positive, I think its very good for the well being of these communities. Tourism is what these places live on a lot of the time and this period will eventually pass, but at least these places are having an increase in patronage for a while. Its good from their perspective.

Yes and Yes. Port Lincoln was packed out with tourists both within and interstate over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, it is the dirty dozen that ruins it for the majority. One of our coastlines was smashed over the period with people driving over the scrub that holds it all together rather than using tracks, camping in spots not dedicated to camping and leaving rubbish behind - meanwhile its a small cohort of volunteers that look after this large area.
