"We accept it as normal that people who have never been on the land, who have no history or connection to the country, may legally secure the right to come in and by the very nature of their enterprises leave in their wake a cultural and physical landscape utterly transformed and desecrated.......We take this as a given for it is the foundation of our system, the way commerce extracts value and profit in a resource-driven economy. But if you think about it, especially from the perspective of so many other cultures, touched and inspired by quite different visions of life and land, it appears to be a very odd and highly anomalous human behavior."

We have also been in contact with a couple of interesting river folk who have been gracious in giving information about the river. Jason Miller who ran the river a few years ago has sent some great photos of his trip in 2005. Also Boreal Rivers a new rafting company who will begin doing trips on the Magpie next year.
