Yeelirrie - in my area - is known as the place of death. We’ve always know that uranium must be left in the ground." ...
Marcus Atkinson, walk organiser and campaigner for the Anti Nuclear Alliance of WA said "The walk has been so important in connecting people with the local communities and the environment teaching people that the area is important." ... "
