June walks gas pipeline




LONG WAY TO GO: Banana residents welcome ‘Walking for a Future’ walkers June Norman and Potts Driscoll as they came into town earlier this week, the pair have also travelled through Taroom, Theodore and left Biloela today.

AFTER walking 200km you would think June Norman would be tired.

"I'm not too sore," June said. "My shoes are a little worn out though."

June has trekked from Dalby to Gladstone with her friend Potts Driscoll for almost 20 days and they still have nine more to go.

In total they will have walked 550km.

The pair are following the corridor of the gas and train pipeline as a protest to what is happening with these industries and their impacts on the future.

"I really fear what it will be like for my grandchildren in 30 years," June said.

June's walk is a means of a peaceful protest in association with international group Footprints for Peace.
