THE SCAR


It stands out clearly: it was the area that National Parks officers insisted had to be burnt.

It seemed to be a stupid, irresponsible, careless decision: why?

Now, looking down at Springbrook, the scar remains.




Did the officers have some romantic idea of the aboriginal use of fire that they wanted to experiment with?

The act seems to be totally naive; without purpose.

Why was this National Park area destroyed?

We are left with the scar.
