Just read your tourism piece from 2020 and was nodding in agreement - amused then to find a comment from 2020 me telling you so! It occurs to me that the current Government has, in many ways, moved us away from those lofty ambitions. Fast tracking mining and fossil fuel exploration, while defunding DOC, is a long way from the kind of holistic eco-tourism that you proposed back then. So good on you for this latest initiative - if the CoC won’t think beyond their wallets, local activism becomes essential.
What a great initiative. You belie your name, Mr Slack.
Sounds like a great initiative.
Good fortune.
My bones are not able enough and I am my wife Teresa’s full time carer.
Excuses, excuses.
Great looking place. I'm checking my finances see if I can visit.
Hope it goes well. It's a huge job as Cyclone Bola showed in 1988 and cyclones Hale and Gabrielle last year. Climate change needs a long term response
I sent this off to a group of people who might have the info you’re after. But they can’t open. Any chance you could open up this post?
cheers Barb, it's open now
Great idea David. I’m sure you’ll get lots of feedback. Is this on our normal substack feed from you?
