I don't want to be unpleasant Not_Now.Soon, but have you ever been out of a city. I have to doubt it if you are worried about the "pollution" of man visiting anywhere in the bush. Stop worrying, the bush will be the same in 50 years regardless.
For example, have you ever heard of Torbanlea, or Burrum or Howard. The district was once the head of Queensland rail, as it was Queensland's major source of coal in the 1860s. There were 7 underground coal mines, & later a large power house. Railway lines crisscrossed the district running to these mines. Try to find one today.
Each mine had hundreds of acres of forest to harvest timber for pit props. Some was selectively harvested, but most was clear felled. A mate of mine bought 640 acres, [a square mile block], of the clear felled stuff in 1980. It was totally indistinguishable from adjacent totally untouched blocks, apart from the fact the trees that grew on clear felled areas grew straight & tall, competing for light.
He spent 4 years clearing 250 acres of this, earning a good living selling the logs for telegraph polls to the local coppers Logs factory.
It is not nature that is fragile, but the productions of man, & anyone who believes otherwise is a fool, has an objective they are pushing, or has never left a city.
