bjd - arkaroola april 2010 - dg yudnamutana hodgkinsons as
hodgkinsons and 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 here are evidence of some of the mineral exploration 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
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?
it's proposed that this area is still open to exploration drilling (which looks like this, folks!) and 'temporary' access tracks (how 'temporary' do these works look to you?)
