is it illegal to sleep in your car

Ah, the classic dilemma of catching some zzz's in your four-wheeled hotel. In Australia, legality varies wildly depending on where you park your tin can. Sleeping in your car is generally not illegal, but local council by-laws often ban overnight parking or camping in certain areas, especially in city centres or public parks. Police might ask you to move if they suspect you're causing trouble or if it's a designated no-sleep zone. So, your best bet is to look for designated rest areas or caravan parks that welcome tired drivers with open arms and fewer fines.
