[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 362434, member: 3008"] That's why I voted 'Yes'. I think the forest as it is, for what ever reason, is better than clear felled area's and mono culture. Yes, there are the lock up camps and the nutty uneducated views, the greenies and stinking hippies and I know I wouldn't be able to fossick there. But I would love to be able to look out on,one of the few area's of unbroken forest while enjoying a smoke. Thinking that loggers don't come in planning to clear fell in the long term is not understanding the practice. They will make sure they have to return if the timber is good. It probably is. But will the status quo remain? My biggest concern is once it is logged it's gone forever. And it will be logged. I think it's the best thing that Australia has some natural forest. But once it has gone,it will never come back. I doubt prying eyes would care. Probably a hippie forum doing exactly the same thing - watching the votes. Perhaps even one of them going "I vote 'No'. ;) I don't disagree with anyone about what a 'Yes' vote may cost. But I just think the 'No' leaves an area to vulnerable. And area's like the BMNP are worth that little bit extra. [/QUOTE]
