Home Sweet Home - Friday 30 September

After 2 months away we returned home today.

 Ahhhhh - Paradise!

We have to unpack and sort out the house and property after being away for so long. The ride-on gets delivered on Tuesday from the mower repairer, the water pump needs work and the pklace needs a general clean up so we will be busy for a few days.

After that we will process what the trip has meant to us and what we have achieved.

We'll keep you informed.

Cheers
Michael & Julie

Armidale - Thursday 29 September

We arrived in a cold and windy Armidale to find a great reception at the Armidale Bowling Club.

Despite Armidale not being covered by a CSG exploration licence (PEL) about 75-80 people attended the meeting.

In addition to Michael's presentation Carmel Flint gave a great presentation about the impact of coal seam gas mining on the Pilliga State Forest.

There was a very interactive seesion afetr the presentations tat included a Q&A session as well as suggestions for further actions.

It was a great final community meeting for our Defend Our Water speaking tour.

Cheers
