Save Anvil Hill - Save our climate from coalIf we are going to stop dangerous climate change then we need to stop the expansion of the export coal industry. Anvil Hill is where we will draw a line in the sand. Centennial Coal wants to build a massive new coal mine in the remnant forest of the Upper Hunter. Come to Anvil Hill on June 3rd, learn more about the issue and send a message to politicians and the coal industry that enough is enough. Enough of huge coal mines that destroy the Hunter Valley and fuel climate change. Enough of putting coal industry profits ahead of our future. What will we do at Anvil Hill?We will form a giant human sign that reads 'Save Anvil Hill' on Sunday 3rd June at midday. Please wear a blue shirt and bring blue ribbons or other blue things. Activities and entertainment are planned for Saturday and Sunday, with free camping on Saturday night.
Festival atmosphereThe weekend will be fun and family friendly. There will be music, films, great cheap food (including vegetarian) and fun kids activities. There will be tours of the Anvil Hill site on Saturday and workshops on Anvil Hill, climate change and renewable energy. |
When should I get there?You can come anytime after midday on Saturday and camp on a private property right next door to the mine site. There will be toilets and cooking facilities provided. You can also stay in Denman, which is only 10 minutes away. It has a motel and hotels. Or you can come up on Sunday the 3rd for the day. We will form the human sign at midday. How do I get there?
If you are coming please RSVP to:Save Anvil Hill Alliance (Indicate which day you will come and if you will camp. If coming on Sunday please let us know if you will get there yourself or want a seat on the buses we will provide.) |

On World Environment Day, Monday the 5th of June, there will be a colourful flotilla to occupy and disrupt the world's largest coal exporting port - Newcastle Harbour. Canoes, kayaks, surfboards, surf-skis, tinnies, rafts, floating banners, flags and people paddling together against Australia's massive contribution to climate chaos through coal exports. For details please see this page on Rising Tide's website.
It is extremely important that the NSW Labor government embraces clean renewable energy. Join us outside the Labor conference to demand:
- A legislated renewable energy target of 15% by 2012 in NSW
- A stop to Anvil Hill coal mine
- Investment in public transport in NSW
- No more uranium mines and no nuclear power
