Arnhem Land Traditional Owners in Sydney
July 17-19th
Protest Action @ Paltar HQ 12pm July 19 + Kimberley Celebration Presentation
5 Amazing Traditional Owners from Arnhem Land are coming to Sydney to raise awareness and garner support on their mission to stop Paltar Petroleum from drilling in their sea country, just off the coast of the Northern Territory. We’re lucky to have them at speak at the Kimberley celebration on the 18th, and then on the Friday afterwards, we’ll be gathering outside Paltar HQ in Martin Place sending the message that the Wilderness Society supports the TOs, rejects Paltar’s attempts to drill offshore and get media attention on the issue.
COME ALONG AND SUPPORT at both the Kimberley Celebration and the action.

Thursday 18 July 6:30pm
GT Hotel Sydney (formerly the Gaelic Club), 64 Devonshire Street Surry Hills NSW
The free event will feature: The Traditional Arnhem Land Dancers, The Barefoot Band (featuring Benjamin Goldstein from ‘The Voice’), The Rhythm Hunters, and Traditional Owners from Arnhem Land speaking about the battle to save their sea country from American resources giant Paltar Petroleum.
