In a further blow to the Kimberley’s heritage values, Woodside Petroleum is proposing to drill up to 90 gas wells in and around the sensitive Scott Reef area off the Kimberley coast. The public has until late January to make comments on this proposal.
Peter Owen recently won two of the highest awards in South Australia for his extraordinary efforts in protecting our unique environment. Here, Peter talks about his background, inspirations and priorities. "It’s an amazing place - big surf beach and dune system, pelicans, dolphins and sea lions - we would often swim with Eagle Rays."
The Lord Howe seamount chain is a world-class environmental icon. The long arms of the East Australian Current end at Lord Howe, Middleton and Elizabeth reefs and related seamounts – supporting the world’s southernmost coral reefs.
Your voice is powerful. Let our political leaders know they must protect the best of Queensland’s environment.
