Re: A Submission on PELA 158 lodged by Ceemac Pty Ltd

I submit that PELA 158 should be rejected.

Exploration and mining of minerals is prohibited by the National Parks and Wildlife Act, and breaches the intent and objectives of the Wilderness Act.

The International Council on Mining and Metals stipulate it is against international best practice to mine within, or adjacent to, a World Heritage Area.

The area covered by the PELA covers a significant part of the catchment for Sydney's water supply. CSG mining in the Pilliga has caused water pollution with uranium levels 20 times above safe drinking water guidelines.

Leaks of highly flammable methane gas from CSG exploitation are common. The Blue Mountains is already a highly bushfire-prone area. Additional threat posed by fire to the ecology, lives, homes and livelihoods of its residents cannot be justified.

Tourism is the Blue Mountains only real industry; the basis for that tourism is its World Heritage status. Almost all businesses in the Mountains depend on tourism in some way. Damage to its ecology could cause loss of this status, and an economic disaster for the region.

Blue Mountains City Council has declared this area CSG free. We the people do not want it here.

My email to the government, copied from the draft.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, COUNTRY IS CALLING.

 Janet Cox who was arrested yesterday while trying to prevent Woodside’s drilling equipment from commencing destruction.

From my heart to yours. I have inherited Country from my old people, and as custodian I

have my rights to stand up and protect our Native land from bullies, selfishness, greed, and those who have no respect for our future generations and Country. I live out here; Country keeps me strong and healthy. I drink and eat, have fresh clean air, have plenty to see and do. Country is very important and precious to keep for my children, grand children and our future generations. I am so proud and very lucky to have this richness and glory. I have just reunited with my family and Country. This is my life and this is what I want to teach my children, grandchildren and future generations; and any other who want to learn about our Culture and live a simple and healthy lifestyle.

No Government in this world have any right to over-ride our people's inherited sovereign rights, to destroy our culture, our songline; and the people's choice on how to live their life, safely and in harmony. You have taken us away from our family and Country when our hearts said no. Well, my heart said that is enough of all of this. You still want to take our land away from under our feet, tried to burn us out, raped our virgin ground; ripping our hearts out at the same time. We are people with hearts, souls, and strong feelings - and you drag us off Country like we are rubbish.

You are taking our water which is our life, our main resource. You are bringing on global warming, poverty, violence, rape, murder - because you want everything the people have. You leave them them with nothing; you leave them with no choice. People's rights are to do strongly what comes from the heart and soul - in good faith and full of love and care for future generations. You are bullies, greedy, selfish, have no respect, and care only for money, money, money - that is all not very healthy for human society.

You have sold your souls, your hearts, your Country - through selfishness, greed, bullying, and lack of respect. Shame on those for bringing heart ache, sorrow and tears every day. They have no right - Country belongs to the people who care about Country, and want to take care of it. You walked off Country and turned your back away from your people, and haven't looked back till you smelt the money - then you became selfish, bullies, greedy and have no respect for Country, the people, and future generations.

We the protectors for Country, make sure that is everything attached is still here walking, talking, and living it still - and is fit for real human beings. Our children, grandchildren, and future generations can be strong, healthy and happy. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, COUNTRY IS CALLING.

The Look out point close to the resort!

Straight up the hill from where we are staying is this magnificent little gem of a place.  Its just a short walk up the hill and there are various walking tracks that criscross this to the other resorts on the other side of the ring road and that makes walking to these quicker if you are game in the night time. Dingoes get about then so it is wise to be careful.

ULURU and Kata Juta National Park

I walked up through here many times already and I am sure that I will fully experience this little piece of paradise. The entire place is packed with plants that are the renowned bush tucker that Aunty Alison collects for her exhibitions to the people in the resort. I took the pics of the full moon up here as well.

And it is Sunday and today is the day

Touching down in Uluru..

What a flight, what an amazing country we live in and what I have just seen.  I am gobsmacked by the sheer beauty of the surrounding country side and then seeing Uluru flying in and the the Olga's in the distance.  I saw the mission of Mutujulu on the other side of the rock and the Resort complex and Yulara were clearly visible from the air in the sparce and very very red landscape surrounding this magnificent place called ULURU and the Kata Juta National Park.
