Activists bring Bimblebox to town

FRIENDS of Felton is bringing the renowned documentary Bimblebox to Toowoomba this Thursday night.

The film follows the story of Alpha resident Paola Cassoni and her two-year fight to prevent the 8000ha Bimblebox Nature Refuge - which she co-owns - from being swallowed by Clive Palmer's proposed China First coal mine.
Directed by US-based filmmaker Michael O'Connell, the movie placed Ms Cassoni's story in the wider context of massive coal and coal seam-gas expansion in Australia and its impacts on farm land, communities and the environment.
