One of many people caught illegally camping at the Shoalwater Bay military training area during Covid restrictions, has faced court.
Nathan William Michael Groves, 19, pleaded guilty in Yeppoon Magistrates Court last Thursday to trespassing on Commonwealth land.
The court heard that in May last year, police were conducting patrols of Byfield National Park when they came across numerous people illegally camping.
There were signs in the area to warn people that it was Commonwealth land and that trespassers would be prosecuted.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shaun Janes said police saw 14 vehicles parked at the northern end of Five Rocks beach and numerous people were camping illegally inside the military training area.
