Save Otways old-growth forests!

GEELONG — People from across Victoria joined Geelong residents on March 4 to condemn a regional forest agreement which permits the woodchipping of old-growth forests in the nearby Otway Ranges. The 250-strong rally named Midway Wood Products the main villain. As they marched on the company's plant, the protesters chanted, "RFA no way! Midway go away!".
