Hi everyone, For those of you who go to Bushells Lagoon you will no doubt gasp in horror to see a water ski slalom course down the centre of the lagoon. Yes you say how is this possible, well Maritime Services who issued the license apparently did not know or do not care that it is a Declared Wildlife Refuge given the highest classification under the Fauna Protection Act and is also listed on the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act.Rest assured we will be taking all the action we can to have this license revoked. the beautiful Hawkesbury 60km N/W of Sydney ============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au

For us interstaters, could someone please explain the significance of Bushells Lagoon? What species are found there, etc? And is there any precedent for water skiing there?
Does anyone know when the course is to be used? Is it permanent, or for some special event?

Sounds like we need as many list members to contact the Minister for Ports and Waterways, Eric Roozendaal and tell him that this is not on. There is nothing like a small avalanche of complaints to cause a polly to change a decision. Mr Roozendaal’s contact details are, Ministerial office: The Hon. Eric Roozendaal, MLC, Level 36 Governor Macquarie Tower, 1 Farrer Place Sydney NSW 2000, Email: enquiries@treasurer.nsw.gov.au Hand written letters get the most attention. Lets get to it folks and try and get Mr Roozendaal to reverse his position, while his party are still in power.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
