South Australia: Anti-nuclear camp out and rally in the Flinders Range 7-9 October

Regina McKenzie

A cattle station in South Australia has been earmarked as the possible site for the nation's first nuclear waste dump. The Wallerberdina station near Barndioota in the Flinders Ranges was picked after months of consultation. A protest camp out with Aboriginal input is being organised. There are still places left to join.

Camp Out at Cotabena, near the site of the federal government's planned radioactive waste dump on Adnyamathanha country at Wallerberdina /
 Barndioota, in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

A camp will be set up from Friday afternoon through to Sunday. We'll visit sites that are significant to Adnyamathanha cultural heritage, and under threat due to the proposed dump. Come and get to know the land, learn culture and support the battle to keep the Flinders Ranges nuclear free.

 

Places are limited to 50 people and booking is essential. We recommend you book your spot ASAP. We'll be in contact with attendees before the camp to advise on what to bring, and directions to the site.

 

If you can't make the whole weekend, join the rally in Hawker on Sunday! This is a vital time to strengthen, broaden and grow the movement to halt
the threat of radioactive waste on Adnyamathanha country.

 

See you there,
