WHEN I saw the front page headlines in this week’s Sentinel Times, I felt like I’d stepped back three decades.
Over four detailed pages, our local paper did a complete hatchet job on the proposed new pathway between Inverloch and Wonthaggi.
According to the front page article, adjoining landowners fear the pathway will cause “disruption to agricultural production, risks to biosecurity and personal safety”.
It reminded me of the outrage that greeted proposals for what we now regard as some of our finest assets: the Wonthaggi-Kilcunda rail trail, the George Bass Coastal Walk, even the Bunurong Marine Park.
