Parks Victoria is running a public survey to seek input into public land management. Info below is from the website intro, which can be found at www.parksvictoria.net. The survey runs until 31st January.
"Public lands in Victoria comprise national parks and
reserves, state forests, marine parks, and other public lands. What do you value about these
places? What changes would you like to see? We need your help!
In the first part of the survey, you will drag small icons onto a map of Victoria to identify
places you value and your public land preferences. The second part is a short, simple questionnaire. We really value your input to help manage our public lands now, and to plan great public lands for the future!
The questionnaire will take you less than 5 minutes and the mapping activity takes most people around 10 – 15 minutes, depending on how many icons are mapped at each location and how many locations are mapped."

Hullo Hilux fan
Thanks for alerting me to this survey. I will have a look over the C/NY break.
Interesting that it is on the Parks Vic site and not the Govt umbrella department site (whatever it is called at the moment)
The State Forests in particular have provided us with many a good
camping site and excellent touring over the years.
One concern is the increasingly rapid spread of blackberries (and other weeds) in the forests adjacent to the Alpine NP (as
well as in the NP itself) Staff have said that there are just not enough resources to tackle the problem and it seems to have gone past the tipping point in some
places
Cheers
Andrew
