The decision to flood tourist information and other outlets with maps that include Sabine Falls comes after the government told cartographic companies to remove all references to it. The government says the picnic ground and trails are not in a fit state to promote to the public. Sabine Falls is the rallying issue in the dispute between the government and the community over logging in the Otways. The government wants to clearfell more than 70 hectares across the Sabine headwaters, but its plans were postponed last summer in the face of mounting protest backed by local government and businesses. The picnic ground, which has a fireplace, tables and a bush toilet, is the starting point for walking to the 130 metre Sabine Falls. The Conservation and Environment Minister, Sherryl Garbutt, said yesterday the site was being removed from maps for safety reasons. She said public use was not encouraged because the trail was steep, slippery and not in a fit state to promote. Her department says the trail and facilities are substandard, and it is unlikely this will be resolved soon. John Piesse, of Doctors for Native Forests, said alternative maps would be printed because the Sabine area had outstanding tourist potential with 13 falls, gorges and rainforest. He said the community had maintained the trail to keep it safe. Surf Coast Shire councillor Julie Hansen and Geelong City councillor Rob Binnie said it was an attempt to erase Sabine Falls from the public mind at a time when local opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of an end to logging. _________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE allofyourgodsaredead.com Email account at... http://www.evilemail.com http://allofyourgodsaredead.com - Someone had to tell you. _________________________________________________________ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
