The Australian: Bye-bye, sweet bay [July 16, 2005]
http://tinyurl.com/8a4x6
> The bay's northeast peninsula is due to be selectively clear-felled
> by a private landowner to provide woodchips to Gunns Ltd. The
> southern end, at Rocky Bay, is the site of a tourist development
> approved by the federal and state governments, despite being in a
> national park.
>
> A group of locals, backed by a growing band of archeologists and
> historians, warns that logging plans and tourism development are
> about to trash one of Australia's most important historic and
> cultural sites.
>
> They, in turn, are accused of hijacking history to secure an
> environmental outcome. The debate is about to go national, with
> federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell considering whether to
> grant the bay, or sections of it, National Heritage listing.
