Hundreds of protesters ‘‘reclaimed’’ Nobbys headland for the people and groups turned out at Broke and Gloucester as rallies in three states turned up the heat on the coal seam gas industry.
The rallies in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia were co-ordinated by the Lock the Gate alliance and timed to coincide with National Water Week.
At Nobbys, Lake Macquarie Greens councillor Phillipa Parsons said people had come from as far away as Moree and the north coast.
‘‘Nobbys was a major part of the Awabakal dreaming here and as they were custodians of the land, so we are custodians of the land against the damage from coal seam gas extraction,’’ Cr Parsons said.
