Protector atop 8 metre bamboo pole21st September, 2011 – At 6.00 am this morning a protector of country, has perched themselves atop an 8 metre bamboo pole, effectively blocking access to the drill pad’s road at the Woodside compound and has stopped woodside’s work today. A banner from the pole reads, “Save our water – No Gas Hub at Walmadan”.
