sorry ...slow day at work

We need mor headlines like this! This will enthuse and encourage thousands of city based academic youths, filling them with great deals of hope and enthusiasm to assist them carry on with their education in preparation to qualifying for some job that hopefully will transport a minor percentage of them out into the real world to actually see first hand how futile and utterly ridiculous decisions such as this tend to be.
The wonderful thing about declaring National Parks and their ilk (in todays political climate) is that we are "preserving our natural heritage for our youth", and that thought is to be commended, but unfortunately our youth are never going to to see the things that we have saved because public access will have been closed off in the name of protection!
Some headlines make me a lot more comfortable with the fact that I am on the downhiull side of 65, as against being on the way in, and this is one of those. Is it age that makes one more cynical or is it having simply seen the wheel do the whole revolution before?
Personally it doesn't reall worry me what they do now as I spent three months last year following the Murray from source to mouth with our car, caravan and kayak and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm alright Jack!

Glen, you were young once too with all of lifes options before you - it's not all doom and gloom for the youth.

The big difference is that when I was young I was allowed to do and see things that are being denied tomorrows generation in the misguided name of preservation!

I have heard that the barma forest is now locked to all. No access at all.

Also rumors have it that ALL camping spots along the Murray will be off limits now.

I just wonder if the murray is a N.P. Can we still fish in it? I ask this as a friend of mine was shooting feral pigs in a national park from his property. They fined him, as they said "All animals are protected in a NP and cannot be hunted or killed" This was some years ago, so things may have changed.
