Event: Sat 8 June 2013 (World Oceans Day): Perth, WA
Making Waves for the Kimberley
Featuring Prof. Carmen Lawrence
"This World Ocean's Day (June 8th) the
Wilderness Society WA cordially invites you to
Making Waves for the Kimberley with guest speaker
Prof. Carmen Lawrence, Chair of the Australian Heritage Council. ...
With the support of the community and people like yourself,
who have helped save James Price Point from a dirty &
conflicted gas hub, we are continuing with our court case to
seek answers on why a compromised EPA was allowed to
recommend approval for this project. Ensuring that future projects
will be held accountable for delivering flawed environmental
and social impact assessments. The event will also be a
celebration of the last five years of campaigning and
community support that is responsible for our grand 'win'."

"In 1987, Paddy Roe initiated the Lurujarri Heritage
Trail as a trigger to encourage the members of the
Goolarabooloo community to be walking the Country
again, as had always been done; to conserve;
renew and stay connected with their heritage and
traditional skills and to keep the same alive for
generations to come. He also sought to wake up
non-Aboriginal people to a relationship with the land;
to foster trust; friendship and empathy between the
indigenous community and the wider Australian
and International communities."
