It was made official today - It was an Official " I HATE TONY" weekend.

All over Australia, the March in March went ahead in capital cities and towns across the entire country over both days of the weekend.

Thousands flocked to the streets when given an opportunity to come outside in public and speak up.  There were many policy issues the Australian people have major issues with.  The Csg, Gay Marriage, Refugees, Environment, Gonski, Disability, Mothers, Workers, the list was endless.  Tony Abbott has got it so wrong and now its public.  The public have given Tony Abbott a vote of "No Confidence" in his ability and his governments ability to govern,  they  must go!

 

In the afternoon the winds whipped up and a fair whack of NSW copped a huge storm that had damaging wind, hail and very heavy rain.  Trees uprooted all over and power lines down.   We helped these people move their furniture to safety.

Once again I witnessed erronious use of public money with an inefficient SES and Fire Brigade when people were in dire need, and madness with legislation ruled.

The Storm at Killawarra NSW was ferocious in the afternoon.

Catching the Train again for me!

 Today I got on the train very early just before 7am in Urunga and travelled down to Wingham Station where my friend Kathy met me and we drove out to their property at Killawarra.  Such a beautiful area to live.

The reason for my trip this time was not to head to an action but to actively participate in saying good bye to Bill Bunting who is going back to the USA on the train tomorrow morning at about 2am.

 

 

I have gathered a couple of minutes to write about the days events because it was very meaningful to us all.
When I arrived Nathan, Ian and Bill were attaching guttering to the house and it was wonderful to see the boys all working together.  The children were all there as well and everyone was having fun.  There was a good chance there would be a lot of rain on the way and there had already been the Typhoon in the Philippines and the tanks were very low.

When this job was finished we settled into party mode and Lei came over and Bruce as well.

Bruce has some serious car problems when he arrived but he was amongst friends and it was soon sorted, and serious goodbyes began as we all sat around together laughing and sharing wine and beer with friends. 

Good Bye Bill,  it was so awesome to meet you in person and to share your inner most thoughts about the planet and love and family.  You are definitely a brother from another mother and on another level and we were all destined to meet and we had to just weather the fire first and we all passed the test with flying colours.

Thank You for teaching me what you have.  We will always miss you until you come back again.  God Speed my Friend and Brother.

Heading to Killawarra with my friend to see our friends

Today we train tripped.

 I had a wonderful sleep last night and it has been a busy day as I cooked scones and packed my things to catch the train today.  I got on the train at Urunga and Suzanna got on the train in Grafton and we have a big job to do in Sydney for the planet we live on.  We are en route to an action at the Sydney Courts.

We arrived at Wingham at around 4.00pm and we were greeted by the Barbours, who our friends.  Off back to their house for a well deserved celebratory drink and to plan tomorrows events

In the early morning tomorrow we are off to Sydney to an action at the courts re a mining decision for the Bulga residents.   We are fighting a decision that is impacting in the negative to these defenseless residents.  This is so very important!  We meet everyone in Gloucester in the morning at 6am.
