When I first went down to Eden, it was to see whether the Harris Daishowa woodchip mill was as bad as hippies claimed. The cleanness of the beaches stood out in my mind as does the erosion and dryness arising from logging, bullocks and sheep on the Monaro.

People Against Coal Expansion (PACE) occupy NCIG coal export terminal on Kooragang Island

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 11/05/2011 - 8:50pm

People Against Coal Expansion (PACE) has delayed the expansion of the NCIG coal export terminal on Kooragang Island. The group occupied the construction site just 10am on May 10th. Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group is attempting to ramp up coal exports, Australia’s biggest contribution to climate change, by 25 million tonnes at the third coal terminal, which would represent almost half of NSW’s domestic greenhouse pollution from all sources.
