Anvil Hill Direct Action Camp
4-8 October, 2006
http://anvilhillactioncamp.blogspot.com/

The port of Newcastle is already the world's largest coal exporter. The proposed new coal mine at Anvil Hill will add another 9 million tonnes of coal each year - driving the world ever closer to catastrophic climate change. It is time to draw a line in the sand. This camp is being organised for and by people who care deeply about our future, and who want to take effective action to prevent dangerous climate change.
