Stock Routes

> Hello,
>
> This is a commercial. Not a money-making one but one seeking
> general support. In QLD and NSW stock routes, those tracks for
> moving cattle and sheep over short or long distances, are under
> threat of being sold off or leased out for grazing.
> Intermittent grazing over the last century hasn’t greatly harmed
> the native habitats in these areas but constant grazing can quickly  
> destroy all native grasses and herbage.
> A coalition of groups including: BA. BQ. BOCA. Wildlife Qld. Nat
> parks assoc etc etc are campaigning for the retention and
> rehabilitation of stock routes.
> At the weekend BQ camp at Blackbutt (Sth Qld) a group birded a
> short distance of the Yarraman to Nanago SR identifying 83 species
> of birds in a couple of hours suggesting that in that areas at
> least the SR is a haven for wildlife.
> Photos were taken showing the difference between habitats on the SR  
> and adjoining grazing land. Google "Stock Routes" for more. Write
> or email the NSW or Qld Governments encouraging them to “do the
> right thing.”
