DOC let a local farmer develop it and deer fence it. Its still a recreational reserve on paper. Its flood irrigated.

Most of the river verges have been claimed by dairy farmers.

All this for an industry that will never make any money. It just made a bunch of physical changes to he country no one wanted, for no profit.

IRRIGATION DOUBLES YOUR LAND VALUE[OR TREBLES] ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYTHING BECOMES MUCH CLEARER.
