Dear friends.
It’s time: construction of the Maules Creek mine is about to begin, and we need your help.
Over the last four years, the campaign against the Maules Creek mine, near Boggabri, has severely delayed the project, despite support from the State and Federal governments and the ANZ bank.
Maules Creek is on the national stage, and over 100 people have visited Leard State Forest to see for themselves what will be lost if the mine goes ahead and to talk to local farmers and indigenous Traditional Owners about their campaign to save the land, the forest and the community from coal.
Now we need 150 people to come together on 14-16 December to the Leard forest Act-up, to protest the imminent construction of the mine.
Please come and join us for three days of planning, training and peaceful action to protect Leard State Forest.
- When: 14-16 December
- Where: Leard State Forest blockade camp, Leard Forest Road. (see directions here)
- What: Over 100 people joining together for training, planning, workshops and peaceful action to stop the mine.
If you have been to Leard State Forest over the last four years, if you love biodiversity, if you think community health and cultural heritage should be protected from coal mines, if you want action on climate change, if you think the coal industry has gone too far … be part of this historic moment.

What do I need to bring?
Please come with everything you need to camp self-sufficiently. We will provide drinking and washing water, but bring your own food and equipment. You will need a tent and sleeping bag, camping mat, torch and cooking and eating equipment if you have it. It is likely to be very hot, so make sure you bring a water bottle, sunscreen, appropriate clothing for the sun, and a hat.
