Day one, drawing to a close

Sharing and learningAfter a day of howling winds and upbeat spirits, day one of climate camp is drawing to a close, with a film night and our first spokescouncil.

The day began with an invitation to country by local Pambalong traditional owners Peta and Arthur Ridgeway.

Welcome gathering

We heard from people working with and in coal affected communities, including Greens MLC Lee Rhiannon.

After a while, we got the hang of the registration process, and finally got the Chai Tent up.

Tomorrow everything will flow much more smoothly, with the wind scheduled to die down this evening.
