A halt has been called on logging of Mumbulla tomorrow.The Environmental defenders office today approached authorities on behalf of an aboriginal man, demanding a stop to logging.
This part of the forest was set aside in the 1980s as an “Aboriginal Place,” but authorities conveniently overlooked this fact when approving the logging. This is in blatent disregard of the spiritual heritage of Mumbulla, and the wish of the aboriginal people that the mountain be preserved as a significant site.
A Young aboriginal man is issued with an infringement notice for trespassing.
