I found it to be pretty sobering.

Sobering and depressing, and painfully accurate.

I am very concerned about "inholdings," private land within the national park. Are there many of these left undeveloped? Are there any for example in the undeveloped areas of Reef Bay? Are there any restrictions on how they can be developed? If you own one of these properties, can you just put a road to it through the park? The scarification of the rest of STJ is dramatic and unsettling-could it really continue into the park as well?

On a lighter side-"gin in pineapples"? I not sure that's a valid reference. I seem to remember though reading about gin in coconuts which seems more logical. Anyone know where I may have read about drinking gin from coconuts?
