(According to the above advertisement)
Every year over 10,000 football fields (nearly 20,000 hectares) of Native Forests are clearfelled and burnt in Tasmania.
The above big tree (The Apple Isle) is part of logging coup SX 13C in the Styx Valley, this is due for clearing in 2003-2004.
The above destruction (The Woodchip Isle), is oldgrowth forest in the Styx Valley (Valley of the Giants) recently logged.
Where else in the world can you find this sort of culture. A Government and its Tourism Minister spending or facilitating the spending of taxpayers money in promotion to attract visitors to Tasmania, while at the same time facilitating a Woodchip Isle (for the benefit of a select few), thus turning potential visitors away in disgust.
Tasmania, Australia's smallest and least populated State, produces more Native Forest Woodchips that the rest of the Australian States combined, yet it is promoted as Australia's Natural State.
