In particular it is good to note how much support they give to our own efforts to secure primitive areas and wild bushlands as parks, and that among these reservations of wild areas is 2,000 acres in the Parish of Patonga. An additional area under review extends from KoolewongTascott, Point Clare to the road from Penang Mountain to Woy Woy. Similar reservations are hoped for on the North Coast and near Rylstone (Seventh Annual Report and "Viewpoints").
