This is what we're fighting for.
Ancient gorges, Australia's 2nd-oldest nature reserve (164+ bird species), world-class wineries, Wiradjuri sacred sites, productive farms.
Coal threatens it all. This is worth protecting.

Stop Peabody's coal grab: submissions close 28 Feb. Peabody wants another exploration licence (EL7005): 412ha extending existing activity around Wollar. This contradicts climate law. Object now. mdeg.org.au/wp-content/u... #StopCoal #ClimateAction #NSWpol #Wollar #Mudgee

庭のアカシアスぺクタビリスが蕾をたわわにつけている。
成長は速いが、枝は細いため外圧に弱い。
積雪や風雨に耐えられず、一般的には数年でだめになるらしい。

蕾はまだ固いが、ここ最近大きくなって黄色くなった。
温暖好みなのに、北関東の今夜未明はマイナス６℃。
その寒さの後には身を切るような冷たいからっ風の嵐。

アカシアスぺクタビリスよ、共に春を迎えようぞ！

NSW government under fire after 670 trees felled for renewable energy project The NSW government is being accused of wilfully ignoring warnings about the destruction of hundreds of native trees as part of a renewables project.

Here's #mudgee people in almighty outrage at destruction of hundreds of very old habitat trees by greedy corporations too lazy and incompetent to do it better. Massive political and media campaign They'll never accept Bowdens' devastating lead mines. #auspol #nswpol

A mortality-sink in slow motion: Habitat that used to protect Koalas now funnels Koalas into dangerous proximity to roads and developments through poor planning and habitat fragmentation.

We just won in court. Two coal approvals overturned in four months — Mount Pleasant and now Ulan Mod 6. You cannot ignore the climate impacts hitting our communities. Bushfires. Floods. Heatwaves. When we stand up, we win. 🌱⚖️🔥

Scientists warn 'critical' koala habitat under threat from mine expansion Scientists mapping koala habitat in the NSW central west find it is larger than previously thought, but concerns remain over expansion plans at a nearby coal mine.

#Mudgee is a beautiful spot. Koalas, horses, farms, vineyards, fertile soil, favourable climate, historic architecture. Destructive #CorporateCoal has no place in #Mudgee. Expansion is in breech of the World Court. #DoTheRightThing #SaveKoalas #SaveMudgee #ClimateAction 🇦🇺 ⚖️ 🐨 🌱

The people of #Mudgee don't take shit from anyone do they. They're seeing off the lead mines as well. #Bowdens Cheers to Johnson Legal and Elaine Johnson. #nswpol #auspol #climate #environment #tourism

Huntington Estate Wines 2024 #methodetraditionnelle #mudgee #sparkling (#chardonnay/ #pinotnoir) Delicate bouquet of light citrus & yeast autolysis, great effervescence. The attractive, crisp, dry palate shows pears & citrus with a hint of maturation complexity. VERY SOPHISTICATED!!

Back to Obeid? Fast-track housing laws a stalking house for fast-track mines - Michael West NSW could return to the Obeid days with new fast-track planning laws for “housing” handing the minister unprecedented power for mines

"Back to Obeid," say critics. New 'fast-track housing' laws to fast-track mines and RE projects too

"The mining companies won't like it if we tell people they're poisoning kids so let's not".The Regulators.😏 #nswpol #auspol #LeadFreeMudgee #Mudgee #EPA

The proponent and the department say out loud that increased lead levels in children are "minimal" or "acceptable" or can be managed. They've been getting away with this kind of rubbish forever. Not this time it seems. #nswpol #auspol #mudgee #LeadFreeMudgee #mining.

First Ridge 2023 #mudgee #barbera- densely purple in colour, it has a lovely spicey bouquet with a dash of dried herbs & plums. Beautiful mouth filling, rich palate with masses of elegant spices & plum flavours + a hint of oak & a tight slightly acidic, lingering finish. FANTASTIC

There's no way the Bowdens project near #Mudgee can be approved on an outdated EIS and SEARS and without considering this report. The disgraceful contempt for communities and for due process has been revealed in all its ugliness. ##LeadFreeMudgee #nswpol #auspol

First Ridge 2023 #mudgee #montepulciano - Deep purple colour, lovely bouquet of plums, cherries & blackberries. Gorgeous juicy, vibrant palate with mountains of delightful flavours & a nice tight, grippy lingering finish. BELLISSIMO!!!

No lead producing mines #Mudgee region or anywhere near kids. #LeadFreeMudgee #nswpol #auspol

I wish I could say I was shocked. EPA NSW sees its job as finding a way that lead producing mines can continue while devastating children, families, communities, rivers, agriculture and tourism with lead poisoning. #environment #greencate #Mudgee #tourism #auspol #nswpol
