The Moore River

Postby stepbystep » Wed 16 Dec, 2009 8:34 pm

Hi all,
There is an incredibly special place 100km nth of Perth.
The township is called Guilderton - named after the wreck of the Dutch ship the Guilt Dragon.
It is located at the mouth of the MOORE RIVER, this place is my spiritual home and is under a real and iminent threat.
Rather than rambling, please read the info attached to this link
http://www.savemooreriver.org
Whatever assets you may help in the fight will be rewarded through helping protect an amazing place.
This is a unique ecosystem existing within spitting distance of the largest urban sprawl outside of LA on the PLANET :shock: .
I have watched this place fight the demons of backward farming practices and ignorant recreational pursuits to end up as the healthiest river system I have known it to be in 30 years.
If you want any info don't hesitate to PM me - this is an issue as important to me as the Franklin was to all of us, we are up against a massive political/capitalist machine.
I'm going back mid-Feb for some action.
All support much appreciated.
Dan

I've got about 2000 more shots, it's an incredibly special place.
Tread lightly, most don't.
Thanks, Dan

Hey Liam - this was Feb 2010, we put together some flyers(4000) to hand out throughout the tourist season and I had discussions with FOMRE in regards to organising a circuit walk through the South Bank region as reported here viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3607 best bet is to visit http://www.savemooreriver.org/index.php if you want to offer your assistance or to find out how the battle is going.
Cheers, Dan
