THE RALLY IS STILL ON! JUST THE VENUE AND THE DAY HAVE CHANGED
Dear Dambusters,
As you might have heard, we have had a lot of trouble trying to organise a suitable venue in Brisbane - all the best locations are ripped up for the inner city busway project (eg. Roma Street Parklands, City Square) and Southbank is not available on either Saturday 2 September or Sunday 3 September because of the River Festival (Riverfire is on the Saturday Night). Our main objective was to get media coverage into Brisbane. But a great alternative has emerged which will serve our purpose equally well and which will mean we won't have to travel to Brisbane. And, it is focussed specifically on our cause - saving the Mary River. The Sunshine Coast Environment Council is organising a big gig in support of the Mary River in Noosa on Saturday 2 September at the Noosa Riverstage, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, from 11am to 1 pm..
Because of Cate's Molloy's high profile stance - there will be big media coverage across the Sunshine Coast and into Brisbane. The event is also being staged to Launch the Save the Mary River CD. I think if we throw our weight behind this function, it would achieve pretty much the same outcome we were hoping to achieve by marching in Brisbane. It will also be a fun day in a great location rather than the dreary back blocks of Brisbane. It would also be great to support Cate, even though we are not in her electorate. She is the only ALP politician who had the guts to stand up for us - it would be nice to return the favour and, at the same time, achieve the same outcome as the Brisbane Rally. It promises to be a great celebration of people's commitment to the river.
