Hi all,
As many of you would know, Barrow Island is probably one of Australia's most
significant reserves. What many of you may not be aware of is that there is
a proposal for developing a large section of the island (300ha) for a Gas
refinery plant and shipping port.
I have been watching this project with some interest and it now appears that
the WA state
government has put its support behind the project...despite contrary advice
from its own conservation agencies.
If you are interested in the project, you can read about it from the
following web-sites:
