Walmandan Tent Embassy has held strong for near a year at James Price Point however after it was recently uncovered that Woodside Petroleum had applied for clearances to drill on Aboriginal sacred sites it is clear that tensions between Traditional Owners and the state government backed Woodside-led-joint-venture to build a gas hub will escalate to new heights.
Goolarabooloo Senior Law Men Phillip and Joseph Roe, with family and community members are camped at Walmandan (the Goolarabooloo name for James Price Point).
