bjd - arkaroola april 2010 - dg yudnamutana hodgkinsons ak
hodgkinsons and the yudnamutana gorge - a great spot for a uranium mine, haulage road, slurry pipeline, or processing facility, do you think?
the south australian government, believe it or not, thinks 'possibly so' and calls this '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 left (eastern) side of the valley visible at rear merits no special protection, according to the state's department of environment and department of minerals and energy
