Subject: If you don't have trees ...

So, after reading through a response of Stewart's in the "CA-lightbulb" thread - as usual my curiousity has gotten the better of me ...

What they created at Broken Hill is a unique revegetation ‘greenbelt’ of national ecological, landscape architectural and town planning significance ..."
