Breaks my heart to think that people still believe clearing the land is an option.
These trees are all that remain...but for how long?
How can a bare paddock be more profitable than the majesty of the natural bush?
I grew up on a farm that had been ravaged by clearing -
my father was one of hundreds of farmers who were forced to clear a large percentage of the land as part of the Government's conditional purchase policy.
He spent twenty years replanting trees to combat salinity as a result of clearing the natural vegetation.
