Save the Mary, Save Agricultural Land, No Dams
Yesterday morning we stopped at Kadanga and visited the "No Dams Information Centre". Kadanga is the heartland of the "Save the Mary River" campaign. This local community are victims of climate change because the two major dams (Sommerset and Wivenhoe) were not capturing enough water due to changes in rainfall patterns. The water from these two dams are basically the water source for the Greater Brisbane area.A few years ago, Peter Beattie announced that Traveston Dam would be built and that…See More

After riding for several hours, we took some breathtaking moments to take in the views (breathtaking also… Continue

Solar Trekkers about to peddle solar cooking in Queensland
Hi All,
We are keen to announce the commencement of our tour around Queensland. Our first leg will be travelling from Nambour to Byfield, second leg Cairns to Innisfail via the Atherton Tablelands and our third leg will be Innisfail to Mackay.
Along the way we will be promoting solar cooking at schools and community events along the way. Our motivation is that we believe that burning fossil fuels in the sunshine state is unsustainable. We will also be burning our body fat… Continue
