A fragmentary report discusses the valuation process for privately built houses and the rising land price in the market. It notes concern about prices exceeding reserve values and hints at inconsistent departmental methods, with officials voicing worries over ongoing value assessments and interpretations.
Letters argue for adopting a new method to set reserve prices on government land blocks. They critique inflated base prices, propose deducting maintenance costs, overheads, and departmental fees, and question selling back rights within five years. The writer cites personal hardship from a prior purchase attempt and cites a 1970 valuation example to illustrate potential gains and losses.
A reader discusses control burning in Tasmania and New South Wales in 1970 figures, noting discrepancies between Tasmanian Forestry Commission and state reports. He argues for revised rural land management, cautioning against excessive reserve expansion while stressing the need for informed fire prevention and ecological considerations.
A reader from Canberra asserts public apathy toward Pacific nuclear threats and urges professional medical input on radiation decay studies. The letter cites carbon 14, strontium 90, and cesium 137 with notes on surface talk and the need for clearer scientific discussion.
The Fantasia Gallery features Wakelin and Lymburner works alongside Peter Travis ceramics. Wakelin, dead in 1921, and Lymburner, who died recently, are praised for personal yet bold styles. Travis shows technical mastery with varied vessel forms and dramatic glazes, while Hessing and others contribute striking pieces.
