Well here we have a great piece of Austtalian planning in process. A new waste water treatment plant is going being built. Where ?? right in the middle of the bush! yes thats right in the bush so what are we going to gdo about it?? bring in a bull dozer and just trash the lot ! No wait we are going to leave the trees we find, but they will probably have to come down later to fit in with the plans.

To be fair, the site will be old style open ponds with large areas of grassland over which the dirty water will trickle to loose nutrients before it eventually soaks away into to the soil. So quite good for birds that don't like the bush!!! The grass is going to be some forgeign South African grass which will be taken as a silage ccrop so that it will never flower and set seed.......yeah right ! They also have no requirement to mitigate for the loss of habitats and don't have to do any preparation works like reptile removal, a planners dream it would seem !

Here we have the site being cleared with no pre-work having taken place, but its OK because the site has been over grazed and is poor quality. So what are you going to do to improve whats left...nothing...what are you going to do to improve the environemnt?? nothing will you allow public access to this lovely new freshwater environment you are creating....no. I am not impressed with the Australian way at all !!!

Changing teh subject totally, here are some dinosaur foot prints a three toed Cassowary type bird. You need to use your imagination a bit with the photos but they are there honest !!!
