Bondi Rock to Southern Cross.
September 26th - October 2nd
 
Over the last week the walk has travelled from Bondi Rock to Southern Cross. We have left the remote desert area and have entered the wheat Belt.

Reflecting on the last 6 weeks it has been an amazing walk in which we have learnt much from the Traditional Custodians and each other. We have strengthened our commitment to keeping this land nuclear free and in the process have formed a strong community.

It is painful to see how much the land has changed as we enter the wheat Belt and there is the constant reminder of so-called civilization with all its rubbish along the road.

The nuclear industry represents the ultimate rubbish that will contaminate and threaten society for hundreds of generations to come. This whole process of destruction and contamination begins with uranium mining.

We cannot allow the Western Australia government to permit the contamination of this beautiful land so as this uranium mining companies can profit from sending such a toxic and radioactive substance to Countries through out the world. Fukushima, Chernobyl and the other accidents that have happened need to stop.

It is for the future generations and all life that we must act to stop this in Western Australia before it begins.

As many of us from around Australia and the world walk towards Perth over the next 4 weeks we hope that you will be able to join us in this journey to keep W.A nuclear free.

If you can't join us then please take a minute to sign the submission against Toro Energy's proposed uranium mine at Wiluna.

We will be having a celebration at city farm on the 27th of October with speakers, dancers, music and photos from the walk. Join us at City farm at 5.30pm.

Stay the night and walk with us to Forrest Place for the CHOGM rally
Or come to City farm at 8.30am on October 28th with you banners for our last 3 km walk in to Perth.
