BRIDGING THE DIVIDE BUS TOUR
August 12th - 14th
Tara, Miles, Wandoan, Acland
August 12th - 14th
Tara, Miles, Wandoan, Acland
 People on the front lines of the battle to save our land, air and water are starting to feel forgotten. When the mainstream media’s tendency to treat vital national issues as “old news” meets the tyranny of distance, it’s easy to feel alone. It’s easy to feel like your struggle is isolated. On the Monday evening Sharyn Munro is at Wandoan for the launch of "RICHLAND WASTELAND - How Coal is killing Australia", her new book is based on incredible first-hand visits to coal-affected communities. As you'd expect, Queensland's coal and gas issues feature largely in her book; she drove 3000kms here, zig-zagging down from Bowen to Brisbane, gathering Queenslanders' real life stories to touch the hearts of Australians in city and country. But she also went to four other states, so this is the first national picture of the scale of this industrial invasion – and the costs. There will be guest speakers, including a hydrologist. Monday will also provide the option of taking a plane flight over the proposed coal projects, the gas pipelines and the gas fields - a unique view and possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Trip INCLUDING plane flight over CSG fields $200 full-waged / $170 concession *cost change due to cost of plane Trip only (no plane flight) $120 full-waged / $100 concession BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL - ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE PLANE TRIP!
