PHOTO ABOVE: Victorian residents gather in a clouded Otway forest, awed by the might of it's trees... devastated by the ignorance of those gone before them. Feb 2000. |

Does the Victorian State Government have any brains or guts?
Why would a sensible government sell off a prime source of tourism revenue, for a mere pittance... because of pressure from a small group of greedy industrialists?
