Brown Mountain is one of the last significant stands of old-growth forest in Victoria. Two weeks ago the Victorian Government ordered the government owned logging company Vic Forests Inc to begin clear-felling the area. Community concern has been ignored with government spokesmen claiming there are no old trees being logged. The government is preventing public access to the logging area as it rushes to log two adjoining areas. This footage was taken secretly and shows third world standard old-growth forest logging. Most of the trees cut on Brown Mountain are being exported to Japan as woodchips.

i love all of these comments lol!!! just to let people know they're gonna rot and die some day, so would u radther see someone log some of it and let the smaller trees grow, or would u like to see it sit and rot and have people a 100 years from now saying what a fringing ugly forest.
What is happening there is happening all over. I once logged and have seen first hand what clear cutting does, it ruined the state where I lives in the US for hunting and most all wildlife. It is a shame greed presses men to forsake nature for cash
What r u saving them for? they r gonna rot on the stump, and not be productive towards the world that let them grow for that long in the first place. BOO HOO Here in the states, ur kind should be shot and left for the earth to comsume! Never mind the trees save yourselves. LOL
you are a fuck'n asshole. we only have one planet to live you dickhead. you should care about it. logging those trees is just wrong. and if you don't know the diference between right and wrong then your parents dropped the ball raising you. smarten up !!!
Mate, you are a 'fuckin asshole' what kind of a stupid comment is that...'Here in the States' yeah right, look how fucked up your country at the moment, at least Australia has a chance to stop any further destruction, America is too far gone to save itself and will eventually end up morally, spiritally and financially bankrupt...enjoy your last days as a super power dickhead because it's all down hill from now...Got a job ? Got a house ? Got a future ?
I am so incensed at the Brumby Government for allowing this to take place. Removing ancient forests for what ? A handfull of jobs and a couple of thousand votes. This is an absolute disgrace. These forests cannot be replaced, a 500 year old tree to be turned into woodchips bound for Japan. We all need to wake up and realise what's happening in East Gippsland. I will never vote Labor again and starting from now I will do all I can to bring this destruction to the publics' notice. It is a disgrace
i agree with you 100% why would anyone cut those down? what's the sence. if you cut those down, even our grandchildren won't see them. 500 year old trees? it's just greed. the people that order them down should be in prison.
