5 3. Hidden Vandals After a hard walk or ski ascent, you come across a magnificent panorama, only to be disgusted to see it spoiled by scar on the native bush due to logging operations. This vandalism is usually invisible to the general public but is often seen from locations that are only accessible to bushwalkers and 4WDs. Logging provides very few jobs and produces a low-value product that appears to be only viable when the raw material is stolen from the public resource. Such forests can potentially lock up tonne of carbon per hectare! Let them do their job of helping to rescue the planet from climate change.

99 P1 Quiet but Beautiful When I see this picture I think what a wonderful environment we have, all of the flowers sprouting and all of the trees growing, all the happy faces to see what kind of environment we have. Everyone thinks we don t have a great environment but I don t think there looking enough, to me I think we should see the smiling faces on flowers and to see the leaves blowing in the wind. I would like everybody to have a good look at what a lovely and kind environment and garden and see what I see, because this is what the environment means to me.

100 P2 The Smokey Sun The environment is special to us but why does it look so bad? Everything is changing and the sun looks so sad. The clouds don t want to fly. But we know they can try. And we know Mother Nature can fight back.

101 P3 Black Saturday at Tallarook
