Protection for Tarkine

Postby melanie » Fri 11 Dec, 2009 2:59 pm

Hi all

I know this has been a partcularly hot topic, so just wanted to pass this on:
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-na ... -knt0.html

I hope this is the good new we've all been looking for. Hopefully, it becomes permanent.
Personally, so long as there's access, I'll cope.

It's an interesting 'development' - but I'm not counting chickens....... :)

Yes, I'm also not holding my breath. However, I choose to see this as a Good Thing with the potential of a better result.

Brett, Devils are known to travel down road corridors, rather than bush bashing.

Not altogether a crazy idea Nuts.... they do offer good pads to follow in times of need.

Breed them with some kind of dog to make a loyal tame scrub bashing machine??
