The unburnt areas of the Victorian high country are increasingly rare and incredibly precious.
One of these areas lies in the headwaters of the Little Dargo River, just south of Mt Hotham. It is a pristine area, without roads, and containing mature forest, much of it dominated by Alpine Ash.
The state government logging agency, VicForests, intends to log a total of 11 “coupes,” or sections, of mature forest in the upper Little Dargo River, probably this spring.
This morning, ABC Radio National described the alliance that has formed to protect the Little Dargo River and surrounding areas.
