Drill Rig heads down highway to Gloucester

We act fast around this neck of the woods.

I got a quick message from up north near Corindi that the rig was seen moving down the Pacific Highway.  I threw my camera in the car along with Ceceila sign and off I went and Carol and her hubby  joined me on the bridge and in five more minutes Joe was there also.  We got so much attention and this was evident of the horns beeping and lights flashing and thumbs up and cheers from drivers driving past.  We were noticed that is for sure.


Sadly we missed the rig.  Not our fault though as we really had no idea of this.  But we did put in an effort that a lot of Australians driving through Urunga saw and were reminded of the horror going on where most never see.

This rig was on its way to Gloucester south of here in the top of the Hunter Valley.  This land is prime farm land and it appears a lot do not want this but they are a very conservative bunch.  I fear the knitting nanas need to go on the road to make the older generation wake up from their slumber.  AGL are not going to  be nice when this kicks off!

Water is more precious than Gold and John is right here in this image!

This afternoon on 2bbb on Melonpop Drive at 4pm there will be an interview and information time regarding csg and the hard facts.  Tune in for this if you are around at that time.
