The Hungry For Change forum, organised by the Sydney Food Fairness Alliance, has been told that suburban sprawl is taking up Sydney basin farmland and threatening the city’s “food security”.
If Sydneysiders are not to starve, colonial authorities must immediately order explorers to find a viable route across the Blue Mountains.
By overcoming this hitherto impenetrable barrier, our fair colony can at last expand to the verdant farmlands to the west—and on to shores of the vast inland sea beyond.
As a reward, the government should offer these brave men the opportunities to give their names to the great highways and cities that will one day rise atop the mountains.
Already the challenge has inspired interest from explorers such as Archibald Bell, Gregory Blaxland and Sir Thomas M4.
