Darrell,
Isn't soil erosion a major problem throughout Australia?
After the rain you can't *see* that damage done unless you have before and after comparisions.
Over a period not much over 100 years there are huge areas of the bush that are now no longer able to support even 100th part of the stocking levels previously attained.
Australia is the world's number one for soil degradation and extinction of species.
Researchers are constantly finding evidence of species extinguished relatively recently that were previously unknown and therefore never studied.
Most extinctions occur as the result of degradation of habitat.
And no, I am not a leftist "greeny". Just someone who is vociferously opposed to bull bleep from all quarters.
I rest my case and will have no more to say on the subject.
