World Wetlands Day—February 3, 2007


















Downstream impacts of the proposed dam were the major focus at Cooloola’s first ever World Wetland’s Day celebration this weekend.

Concerned residents of Tin Can Bay turned out to listen to the experts. Being World Wetlands Day, there was a particular emphasis on the ways the dam would effect the Great Sandy Strait. Tin Can Bay is south of Hervey Bay, at the southern most end of the strait.

The four member panel here pictured—Roger Currie, Steve Burgess, Darryl Stewart and Steve Dennis—covered the issues eloquently and passionately, with a bit of song thrown in.
