THE documentary Bimblebox will be screened at the NPA Friday Environment Forum on 16 May. The film follows the story of Alpha resident Paola Cassoni and her two-year fight to prevent the Bimblebox Nature Refuge – which she co-owns – from being swallowed by the Galilee Coal Project.
Bimblebox Nature Refuge is a peaceful 8000 hectare sanctuary in central-west Queensland.
If this mine goes ahead, it would represent the most significant impact experienced on a nature refuge to date. You can see this documentary followed by discussion at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, Wallace Drive Noosaville starting at 10.30am. Arrive at 10am when coffee is available. All welcome.
For those wanting to enjoy the birds of Wallace Park before the film, interpretive birding with Valda starts at 8.30am in the car park. Visit www.noosaparks.org.au
