Best parts of Tasmania are anywhere these grubs havnt been... 50yrs later the same thing is still going on for the sake of people that cant diversify in there lives and move on to better industries that support this spectacular place. It should be one of the natural wonders of the world. Save it before its gone!

Yes, I Use verified recycled paper for printing and make my own furniture from recycled timber. I have seen what the so-called regenerated forest looks like and I have also seen firsthand a logged site after heavy rain and a creek full of mud and debris that was once home to several platypi. Victoria's own government forestry department is still turning a blind eye to logging old growth forest after two inquireries found evidence of it but the worst part was that they logged in terrain that their own guidelines said should not be touched so yes they are vandals and only pay lip service to "looking after the forest" Profit is what they look after.
