Kenilworth Bluff Quarry

On a more sombre note, if you chanced to read the Australian on 05.08.04, you'd have seen a pretty depressing photo of serious tree clearing by a quarry on the side of the Kenilworth Bluff. It could prove a bit of a test of the State's new vegetation clearing laws as what was removed was remnant vegetation and the clearing was done without any permits. It was also well outside the area zoned for quarrying. It has become an environmental threat as well by virtue of the steep piles of fine bulldust poised precipitously above steep gullies just a few hundred metres from the Mary River. It's a bit like Agricola all over again but no cyanide. Save
