LAKE COWAL CORROBOREE AT EASTER

Friday 14 - Monday 17 April 2006
(see Inspiring Story of Gathering in 2004)

Come out to the Lake and support Wiradjuri Traditional Elder Neville 'Chappy' Williams with his continuing fight to protect Lake Cowal from the hands of gold giant Barrick Gold.

The theme is RAIN so come and listen to this sacred land and bring on the rain to stop this 'Midas' greed.

The first bar of gold will be produced in March/April 2006 so this is yet another significant year for the campaign as cyanide will be transported through communities from Gladstone, Queensland to Lake Cowal, NSW.

Wiradjuri Traditional Elder Neville 'Chappy' Williams with the ongoing support of the Indigenous Justice Advocacy Network continue to fight Barrick in the courts ... they need your support!

CYANIDE WATCH through the work of Peacebus.com, will be leaving the gates of the mine at the easter corroboree to bear roadside eyewitness to the transportation of cyanide to the mine. Check out the new STOP-THE-CYANIDE track at: http://www.peacebus.net/stop-the-cyanide/stop-the-cyanide.mp3

The Lake Cowal campaign is now a national campaign of Friends of the Earth Australia. To contact the campaign coordinator: amy.bell@foe.org.au
