mineral exploration site 'hodgkinsons' in the yudnamutana gorge - a great spot for a uranium mine, do you think?
the south australian government, believe it or not, thinks 'possibly so' and calls this 'seeking a balance'!
the scars you can see criss-crossing this hillside are evidence of some of the mining history of the area - some very recent - some decades old; all, apparently, 'rehabilitated' to meet the standards of the state department of minerals and energy
note the extensive erosion still taking place at this site
the magnificent gorge country that can be seen in the background is, on the left hand side, standard mining 'access zone 3' under the state government's plan - will what you can see in the foreground be its future?
