Be aware the remainder of state forests will be NP by 2025.

They are looking at doing the same in the west of the state too. The whole state will be NP the way it's going.

When I can I will be dragging the van up your way.
Up my way national parks aren't only turning state forests into national parks they're buying up cattle properties and turning
them into national parks we have two within 50klm of me already, no shooting no bike riding and no camping ( Gates are always locked )
Both these properties have caused major fire problems in the past due to the undergrowth in an already fire problem area
Letting these areas overgrow bring back noxious weeds and step up the feral animal problem
Contractors won't solve the problems with over stocking of wild animals we've had contractors and poisons for years up here and the problem
is still as big as ever Pigs and wild cattle in the agricultural areas and dogs , pigs and deer in the western cattle area
although deer are only just getting going
You've got to look around the world and see what is keeping animals from exploding in numbers and removing their habitat
is one that comes to mind and shooters do just that by having access to these areas contractors alone will not stop the influx of ferals
when they're given more untouchable areas to breed
Its not only the greens Oldbloke that are stupid there is a long list at present

Yeah we are loosing shooting areas fast up here we lost YURANNA station to native title they locked the gates 70,000
acres then HOMEVALE station to national parks locked gates 40,000 acres then CODRILLA station to the coal mines locked
the gates 38,000 acres now there is the whole range behind us which at present just crown land will go to national park by next year
approx150,000 to 300,000 acres or more so something is cooking its probably as southeast varmiter said its an agender 2030 not sure
what that is myself
Cracks are already starting to appear in the parks theory we have a weed out west called parthinium or ( rag weed) since parks have taken
over the land, control of this weed has ceased enabling it to flourish and same with the rats tail grass on the coast which comes from Africa
it came here in pasture seed both weed and grass has the potential to devastate farm land
Rag weed and rats tail both smother out grass and thrives in any climate
For the love of me I can't think of why the parks want all this land and lock everybody out they can't even afford to maintain it properly
Yeah beyond me
cheers
