I ask because so many people make remarks about places that they have not seen. I am not against mining, I have had shares in Bulletin, but swapped for Pilbara Minerals. Will come back to Bulletin later as Ravensthorpe is not the only prospect they have. I feel that there has to be some give and take re wilderness and mining. In this case, there are the birds and other wildlife and salmon gum trees. I have been there as I live in the Ravensthorpe Shire. Farming and mining are its heritage. Lithium at the moment is not doing quite so well. I feel as do others, that the birds etc. should be left in peace. This is common knowledge. This is the parrot's breeding ground that has taken many years to become. You can't clear the ground without affecting other variables. But there must be balance.

Sorry, about your almost punch-up. Honestly, anything can happen in this Shire.
