Moree sign attracts attention



Penny Blatchford, Bellata/Gurley Action Group Against Gas, with children Chloe, Thomas and Jeremy, and the sign.

Jacquelyn Lewis, or Jaya Chela Drolma, as she is referred to when on stage, has made a short film raising concerns about coal seam gas mining.

Her video is shot just outside of Moree and shows footage of a sign that says ‘no gas mining on our prime ag land’.
 
The sign which was erected by Penny Blatchford and members of the Bellata/Gurley CSG Action Group has been an iconic site for travellers who commute between Narrabri and Moree.
 
“We are really pleased that we have got some media attention around our sign,” Mrs Blatchford said. “Hopefully our message will keep reaching out to more and more people,” she said.
 
Ms Lewis who is currently commuting between Queensland and Victoria stopped at the sign and decided to make a two-minute film raising her concerns about CSG mining on prime agricultural land.
