About 50 local residents and supporters from across the Clarence Valley are blocking access to a Metgasco drill site. The company is preparing to do further work on site in preparation for extracting CSG.
Lynette Eggins is at the protest site and said drilling trucks have been stopped by protesters sitting in chairs blocking access to the site. "They're not happy about Metgasco coming in to drill in their area," she said. "They are here to protect their land, air and water from the toxic industry. 'They know that the industry is not safe, it's risky and the industry has no community support.

Metgasco had promised to notify people in the region before any activity took place, but nothing had been provided.
