Lower Blue Mountains - Springwood - 16 August

Over 40 people attended the community meeting at Springwood tonight. They were a very interested and engaged group. We felt very welcome and appreciated.

Craig Chapman talked about the impact of long wall mining at Jerry's Plains. The impact on the water aquifer will affect many local landowners and farmers.

Keith Muir, from the Colong Foundation for Wilderness, spoke about a proposal by Lithgow Council to pump waste water from a coals mine into the local water supply. You have to wonder what they are thinking!





We leave the Blue Mountains confident that the National Day of Action will be well suported.

Cheers
Michael & Julie
