Positive action at Doubtful Creek

Day 69

I have had a few very interesting days already this week. My mate and I set off on our motor bikes for a trip riding and camping but first I suggested that we visit the people blockading the Coal Seam Gas drilling site at Doubtful Creek just west of Lismore. We stayed there instead of going any further. The second day saw action when the drilling rig and tanker trucks were held up at the gates for eight hours while the police rescue tried to extract a man who had buried his arm into the road up to his shoulder into the road base. His arm was locked into as steel pipe and concreted into the ground. It was an effective action as it took almost eight hours before the trucks could pass.
