Sunday Island
Mr BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (14:43): On the weekend I went out to visit Para Park on Sunday Island. The island is only accessible by boat or helicopter and is a small part of paradise, because as close as you are to Melbourne you are also cut off from the rat-race. The hunting on there is tightly controlled and is also used to gather data for managing the game. The amount of data collected is astronomical and assists in keeping the herd in tiptop conditions. I thank the cooperative for hosting the open day and giving such a thorough tour and run-down of the island, and I thank those that gave up their hunting to allow us to come and have a look.
