Stall at Nikenbah Markets

Trevor the Mary River Turtle helped out on our campaign stall at the Nikenbah Markets (Hervey Bay) last weekend. Although some children - even some adults - find him a bit scary from time to time, overall he is a big hit wherever he goes and is no doubt developing a bit of a fan club along the way.

The stall itself was one of numerous being held at markets throughout the region as part of the campaign initiative to not only raise awareness about the dam, but also gather public submissions against the EIS.

'Needle' submissions - i.e. small, one-pagers - commenting on various aspects of the EIS have been prepared by the campaign and presented to people for signing. It is hoped the thousands of submissions collected will send a message loud and clear to the Government that Fraser Coast residents and visitors alike don't want a dam on the Mary River.
