-- +Recent ccrrespondents writing about the construction of a short length of road and the erection of a memorial shelter shed and water tank in Bouddi Natural Park appear to have indulged in rather exaggerated language - for example "If the people have to step out of their core or come out from under a roof, they are being excluded".

Probably this is true, but if this means the whole of some parks, I suggest that it is unsound, as it does not provide for access except fcr those arriving on foot. I feel that a better general principle would be that the bulk of all parks should be retained in a primitive state.
