Body
Since the mid-nineteenth century - and especially from the 1950s - 'woody weeds' have spread across the red soil country around Gunderbooka Range. I explore human consequences of this strident environmental response, and consider the varied explanations of graziers, scientists and others for the dramatic changes. I suggest that the Gunderbooka environment -a forceful agent -banished pastoralism. Alternative land uses emerged.
