How does adding bitumen to the surface of the road destroy the Australian Wilderness? (do you mean the bush or the Outback or the Desert or something? not sure of this wilderness stuff you speak of)
As for saying anyone that doesn't like it should move to the city, was your road always bitumen?
If you have to drive corrugated dirt roads constantly for work, or to provide
services, or just to go to town when you live out here, you appreciate the difference a good road can make. "move to a city" is very condescending and shows you know little outside your little zone.
As to the road being bitumised, yes, it will happen, it has already started, the latest section to be done was the last 10km's into
Laverton, finished just last week.
There is now 30km's outside
Warburton and we have 7 here. At those rates it is going to take quite a while to do, but it will be worthwhile. There is a group of people fighting hard to get this done, and I for one appreciate thier efforts.
there has been $33m dedicated to this project over the next three years, and it is going to take a lot more, but eventually, those gaps will get smaller and smaller.
Cheers
