ANGRY farmers have launched a blockade near Spring Ridge on the Liverpool Plains in a bid to stop coal-seam gas exploration in the area.
About 70 farmers are reportedly involved in the blockade, outside the main gate of the property about 10km outside the village.
Oil and gas giant Santos was working to drill a pilot well on black soil plains to explore the gas reserves in the area.
Community members and landholders have gathered at the site in a united front against the industry giant.
Members from the Caroona Coal Action Group are reportedly assisting the landholders.
