Bulgamatta, the Grose River Valley was a spectacular backdrop to our community collaboration, Connect to Protect, on Sunday. Guided by Uncle Lex and Uncle Chris, we signed into Country and made resilient twine from the Stringy Bark tree. We also sent a collective message to our governments that we want action to end the contamination with zinc and nickel from the abandoned Canyon Colliery, into the pristine headwaters of the Grose River (Bulgamatta).
