Fire In The Forest
HE Australian has treated the forest with scant mercy. Most clearings have been desirable. Each year they produce thousands of pounds’ worth
of sugar, bananas, and pineapples in Queensland. In New South Wales they are planted with European grains, fruit, and grasses. Yet Heaven knows ‘how many hundreds of thousands of pounds’ worth of cabinet woods have already gone up in smoke. Fires still burn. A landscape of fire-blackened stumps or of felled and charred trunks characterises many square miles of
Queensland-and into offensive, brutal settings like that they put the inoffensive, gentle, Jersey cow.(Kenneth Cumberland, acting head of the Department of Geography at Canterbury University College and chairman of 3YA’s "Microphone Roundtable," May &.)
