Good news hopefully, for the wildlife in the Capertee Valley.

Sounds fantastic but why does this bit about “other facilities” worry me:
… There are also plans for camping grounds and other facilities…

Alan and all – I can think of a few ‘other facilities’
Helicopter pad, bush retreat for rich nature lovers, mountain bike trails, swimming pool in the river (have to dam it and dig it out a bit of course). The list can go on and on – and, I nearly forgot, what about a coal mine? Won’t affect the cliffs or the water table……………..
