rugged inaccessibility affords this region its greatest protection
from human impacts - as a result it is now arguably south australia's
most pristine wilderness area, free even from significant weed incursion
past management has left the area in outstanding condition, but in order
to keep it that way some manner of formal recognition and a declaration
of protection needs to be made by the state government
even the arkaroola wilderness sanctuary - which covers only
the southern half of the area, the remainder being an even more exposed
pastoral lease - has unfortunately already been seriously encroached
by the mining industry - see the
u[n]sa journal for details
