Is it really too late? Years ago when everyone was claiming that the
rainforests around Terania Creek had never been logged, I spoke to locals who
knew for a fact that almost everything other than the Brushbox trees had been
cleared a hundred years earlier. Ironically, it was the Brushbox that the
loggers in the 80's were going back for.
All I'm saying is that if we can make an effort, nature might do a better job
of recovering than we think.

PS I've seen the damage that "selective logging" does in rainforest, and it's
not pretty. Maybe in Redgum forest it would be less damaging with the open
woodland, but it would be important to leave enough old trees for the birds and
marsupials.
