Just some fun at lizards revenge, olympic dam.
The Lizard’s Revenge was a protest-music festival-ceremony-encampment at the gates of Olympic Dam Roxby Downs, a uranium mine in South Australia that was approved in October of 2011 for an expansion which will make it the largest operating uranium mine in the world.

Yeelirrie Road
Day 2
It’s warm and dusty and the bandaides have started to appear for day two of walking. Even still we were packed up early and rearing to go. We said fair well to a few walkers who headed back to the city and then we set off again. With Kado in the lead we made a cracking pace, filled with stops for spotting out tracks and learning about the country we are walking through. The sun picked up it’s heat today and the group kept on, making camp at 2:30, where more bandaides and tending to feet was needed. There was a group reclaiming the road by practicing qi gong, stretching out to the lowering sun and others yarning under the shade of the trees, the smell of dinner drifting through camp. It’s pretty nice out here!
Omg they have camels.

Walking for country is to reconnect people with land and culture. The Walkatjurra Walkabout is a pilgrimage across Wangkatja country in the spirit of our ancestors so together, we as present custodians, can protect our land and our culture for future generations.
My people have resisted destructive mining on our land and our sacred sites for generations. For over forty years we have fought to stop uranium mining at Yeelirrie, we stopped the removal of sacred stones from Weebo and for the last twenty years we have stopped destruction of 200 sites at Yakabindie. We are not opposed to responsible development, but cannot stand wanton destruction of our land, our culture, and our environment.
We invite all people, from all places, to come together to walk with us, to send a clear message that we want the environment here, and our sacred places left alone.
