Will Bimblebox Survive Clive Palmer's 'China First' Project?

Bimblebox - a review

Bimblebox is a compelling argument to protect the 8000ha Bimblebox Nature Refuge, located in central-western Queensland.  It is a very important Desert Uplands bioregion in an area that has very little protection.  Clive Palmer wants to start an open cut mine on the property.  The question is will Clive win the battle?  He won't if the passion for this majestic piece of land of Paula Cassoni's has anything do with it.   For more information on Bimblebox Nature Refuge go to http://bimblebox.org/  There is more to the documentary though.

Bimblebox explores the adverse impacts of open cut mining and coal seam gas on communities throughout Australia, while discussing solutions to the provision of energy.  The personal stories will move you to take action, for an example a farmer giving a plea for trucks not to enter a property and the town where the only resident left is unwilling to sell his house.  The queston to the wider public, as Australians do we want to disrespect people in the chase of quick cash, and no way of producing food in Australia in the years to come or become an important food bowl for the world where communities have a say on what occurs on the land?  I give the documentary a must see rating.  If you go to http://bimbleboxdocumentary.com/ you will find screenings of the movie.

This documentary was shown at the Nambour Civic Centre yesterday to a mix crowd of well informed people on the subject matter and to people wanting to know more what is occurring in our great country of ours.  Ellie Smith the Associate Producer at the end of the movie had a Q&A session.  The audience definitely wanted to aid the protection of Bimblebox.
