Letter to the Editor

The Daintree rainforest In Far North Queensland is Dying while the universities study the healthy Great Barrier Reef for millions in government funding.

Driving the Bloomfield road from Wujal Wujal to Cape Tribulation all you can see are dead trees covered in weed vine that climbs everything until it suffocates the tree from sunlight, strangles and kills it.

 You would think with all the tour buses with university educated tour operators with eco-tours all over their brochures may have noticed the dead trees covered in vines!  Or maybe the government paid Aboriginal Ranges who are supposed to be invaluable in conservation!

Or Queensland government Parks and Wildlife Rangers!

 Maybe the Universities who have received millions from the government who supposedly studied land run-off to the great barrier reef!

When will Australians get value for money when it comes to politicians, government departments and education?
