"Coal Creek” documents the tireless work of a large number of concerned citizens to shine a spotlight on the damage being done to the Royal National Park by a neighbouring mine.

Filmed on Dharawal Country in 2022, the story shows repeated pollution events by the neighbouring Metropolitan Coal Mine into Camp Gully Creek, which carries the pollution into the Hacking River, a major artery of the Royal National Park. To add to these concerns UNSW relocated a colony of Platypus into the river.

“Coal Creek” will have a limited run of premier screenings. This screening will be held at the fabulous Servo Food Truck Bar, Port Kembla on Sunday, 28 January. Doors open at 6pm, screening at 8pm. All welcome!

It’s our catch up end of year picnic, to celebrate our wins this year – please save the date! From 11am we'll be meeting at the Wattle Forest picnic area in the Royal National Park, a beautiful spot near Audley. This is the same location where the platypus were released into the Hacking River. There's bbq's, picnic tables, toilets, but no swimming.

Environmentalists Tom Hunt and Dr. Simon Leslie are sailing from Port Kembla to Newcastle to join the Rising Tide blockade of the Newcastle Coal Port. The Newcastle coal port is the largest coal in the world, and Australia's single greatest contribution to the climate crisis.
On their way Tom and Simon are stopping at Audley on 8 November to say hi and lend their support to our campaign against coal pollution in the Royal National Park.
Join us for a rally and picnic at the Audley Weir, fostering awareness of the coal mine polluting our beloved RNP, and supporting Tom and Simon on their journey up to Newcastle.
