SHOW DAY 2011

Assuming prime position outside the CWA, the Association made its presence felt at the annual Rylstone/Kandos show last Saturday. Volunteers gave out information to the public and signed up new members concerned about the rapid growth of coal mining in the area and the impact that it is having on our water resources.

As the temperatures rose, many friends availed themselves of the fresh spring water sourced from the headwaters of Carwell Creek on Mt Vincent. This creek flows west into the Cudgegong River and on into the Murray/Darling Catchment.

Any coal mining under Mt. Vincent, as is presently being proposed by the Thai-owned company Centennial Coal, would cause irreparable damage this natural waterway and all the species that rely on it (including humans!).

It is the Association's mission to prevent this from happening.
