Yes, here's a bit more bad news which you may not have heard about. The
Saltfield wetlands at Dry Creek north of Adelaide are to close in June and
be redeveloped for housing. And to make things worse, The Saltfields at
Price are also closed to birders following some silly behaviour by a birder.
This followed Cheetham Salt imposing near impossible clothing requirements
which made it difficult enough to comply anyway.
They want us out, full stop.

The last week on birding-aus has got me thoroughly depressed about the state
of the environment and the value placed on it by politicians and other
authorities in Australia, especially at state level.
We've had more news about duck hunting in Victoria, news about possible
logging in national parks in NSW to add to the folly of amateur hunting in
the nat parks, the possibility of logging on Bruny Island in Tassie, and the
horrific details of the Qld govt's plans, and burn-off cockups in SA wiping
out habitat of vulnerable and endangered birds.
Is there any good news from WA or NT coz it's not coming from elsewhere???
I will of course write to MPs, sign petitions, etc, but what is so
profoundly depressing is that so little of the population at large and
apparently even fewer politicians actually care.
Sigh.
