 | An inspired call by a regular Camp Walmadan participant has driven the formation of The Country in Crisis Convoy.
CONVOY LAUNCH & Fundraiser : Our ears will be pleasured on the evening by;
Mick Quinn & Rani's Fire https://www.facebook.com/ Who have kindly donated their time, effort and voices to this wonderful cause. Thank you for your support♥ Auction: Prime Signage Real Estate for your Message. Sponsors: Donate weekly fortnightly or once off St George Kimberley Calling Account # 431-518-717 BSB # 112--879 Bands/Acts/Entertainment: Mick Quinn and Rani's Fire Newtown TBA From 4pm til 9 Hey Folks WE WON, Woodside will no longer be building a massive gas hub at Walmadan. However there is a great big country still waiting to be saved, and now we know we can win. This convoy is now taking to the road to visit all those precious sites around our awesome country still threatened by greedy mining compaines. Major focus' will be on CSG, Uranium and saving the Burrup Peninsular from further damage, and fighting for it to be World Heritage listed. We leave to protect part of this ancient land first walked upon 130 million years ago by dinosaurs who left their prints, then walked upon, loved, cared for and respected for at least the last 40,000 yrs ago by the original inhabitants of this land, a history of culture, country and tradition that still lasts and is very strong amongst the Goolarabooloo people today. This is all under threat for short term gain. Woodside alongside their joint venture partners and the West Australian Govt are hell bent on destroying this legacy of our world's history for 5 decades of gas flow and a few billion $$ for their company shareholders and executives. By building the world's biggest gas hub right in the middle of Sacred Aboriginal Ground. NOT ON OUR WATCH!! The Campervan will be launched at a Special event in Newtown on April 17th from 4pm till late. All who come along will have the opportunity to leave a handprint and message on the van in support of the Goolarabooloo and their defence of their Ancestors ancient burial sites, and one of the last remaining Songlines in Australia. If you aren't up to speed on the Goolarabooloo or Songlines please ask. For those who can't make the event but would like to support you can deposit money into St George Kimberley Calling Account # 431-518-717 BSB # 112--879 Also putting a call out to any peeps who'd like to join me in this "CALL FROM COUNTRY" either in my van ( personal message me if you are keen, any petrol costs not covered by fund raising will be split evenly between 3 passengers), or if you have your own vehicle and are ready to go by 19/20th April, by all means lets cross this country together and kick some greedy corporate butt. Courtesy Jaxon Makes sure you get a copy of "Camp Walmadan" (A Guide To Country, Community and Culture) before you head off, it will help you understand your role on arrival and give you a greater understanding of what supporting the Goolarabooloo means. http:// reblogged from original post at http://countryincrisisconvoy.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/convoy-fundraiser-april-17-2013.html |
