New KFC lights up Kurrimine Beach

Wet Tropic National Parks `back burn' from Cowley to Kurrimine,
whilst Cassowaries are endangered!

The new Kurramine Fried Cassowary went into full throttle yesterday
(Sept 26th) when government officials from a broad range of
departments pooled their not inconsiderable resources to get the big
barby underway.

Not only are Cassowary on the menu but a staggering array of
mammals, birds and reptiles - all with young. The insects are as
diverse as you are likely to find anywhere, and crisped up just the
way only a prescribed controlled burn can deliver. If that wasn't
enough, all the flowers and fruit are in season. Just to make your
KFC experience as pleasant and reassuring as possible, you can
forget the threat of wildfire and relax, breath deep and enjoy life
Queensland style, at least until our friendly, reassuring,
government expert says something different.

This may seem like a once in a lifetime opportunity, but no, stick
around, this is repeated over and over. So, if you feel for a bit of
warfare, and the enemies over there look a bit scary, why not join
the thousands of like minded folk in the north who have their own
private war going, fully government funded of course, on the
environment. It doesn't even fight back.

There is the full range of activities, all cleverly covered by laws,
so nobody is in danger of prosecution.

You can destroy some of the rarest habitat on earth, make a
significant contribution to global climate change or just destroy
some beauty. There are a wide range of chemical agents to pollute
the reef, burn a riverbank, or you can even aerially spray your
chosen piece of rainforest including creeks. Why not try a
combination bulldoze, poison and burn, but nothing beats a good
National Park burn. You could destroy some costal habitat, though it
might cost for such a prize - there are many sugar cane farms close
by - have the cheque book ready. Ever thought of damning a creek or
simply some herbicide induced erosion? It's all possible, whatever
takes you're fancy, but remember, get in early, as emmission
targets, clearing guidelines and bylaws are on the way!

Government departments are looking for people, willing to take on
highly paid jobs, to set a good example for the community at large
and provide support for like minded folk. So don't miss out, there
is environment out there where, you too, can have an impact!

You will recognize where the Kurramine Fried Cassowary BBQ is.
Remember to bring your respirator, as the area is a total smoke
hazard North to Cairns, South to Tully, West to Japoonvale Valley
and East to the coast and beyond. It all depends on which way the
wind blows.

Let it be known that this is mid school holidays, when many holiday
makers are camping in this area. There was not a sign or a notice to
tell us the bush was to be set aflame. The only notice we saw was
one informing us that Cassowarys are at risk from humans. I wonder
if they like their berries cooked? And we can only hope nobody was
hiking the bush during the fires!

Photos of burnt offerings will be shown soon

This is Wet Tropics these idiots love to keep burning year after
year! Cardwell is also being burnt for whatever weird reasons, and
we are endeavouring to petition against it.
