		Another area of concern of the proposed change is the lands involvement in the recent land planning review and rezoning of the Furneaux group.
		It would leave the Furneaux group with portions of land that would be excluded from any further land-use planning inclusion, and I feel all land should have the same value to everyone concerning these issues.
		I'm on the regional strategy committee for the Furneaux group, and it just feels funny having half of those islands within a management group and having plans and then identifying any areas that need to be looked after, and not having any known interaction with any organisation that is managing it.

	Walkabout - Flinders Island
		Located 20 km north of Cape Portland by sea and 151 km from Launceston by air, Flinders Island is the largest of the Furneaux group of islands which lie to the north east of Tasmania in Bass Strait.
		Bass Strait was formed as a result of the melting of ice after the last ice age and consequently Flinders, Cape Barren and Three Hummocks all became islands and the Aborigines of Tasmania were cut off from their mainland counterparts.
		The island was first identified by Europeans when Tobias Furneaux, the commander of Cook's support ship, became separated from the Endeavour in fog and discovered the Furneaux group of islands on 19 March 1773.
