BRIAN Cameron doesn't trust what he's been told about his slowing water bores, and he likes it even less that coal-seam gas and coalmining are literally on his doorstep.
The third-generation grazier had hoped that he would ease into retirement on his 3600ha cattle run, Waikola, 90 minutes' drive from Roma in southern Queensland.
But the arrival of gas and coal exploration crews in his fertile corner of Brigalow Country, 400km west of Brisbane, put paid to that.
Now, like many others in the area, Mr Cameron and his wife Anne are uncertain of what the future will bring.
