Helidon
Hills, it's flora, fauna and inhabitants have a right to be protected.
Many, many places are threatened everywhere on the planet, each as
beautiful and unique as the Helidon Hills in their own ways, but as
much as we think globally, our power is in acting locally to save
our home environment.
It is our obligation to respect and protect our environment not just
for community, Queensland or Australia, but for our fragile planet
as a whole.
