The Wonderful Great Barrier Reef Under Threat


A woman sitting on top of a hill looking at the ocean.

Five years years ago I visited Queensland's beautiful Whitsundays.

I flew in a small plane over the area

A river flowing through the middle of a valley.

and absolutely loved the view of Hill Inlet at low tide.

I marvelled at the Great Barrier Reef from the air, remembering

one of the greatest experiences of my life - snorkelling the Outer Reef.

But nearby is the site for a proposed huge expansion of a coal mine & port.

I could hardly believe it!

And now in 2020 the Reef has suffered a third mass coral bleaching event, due to climate change.

Burning coal from Adani's mine will greatly accelerate global warming

and our precious Great Barrier Reef will certainly be destroyed.

The survival of the Reef OR Adani's massive coal mine and port?

Many thousands of long-term jobs in tourism OR some short-term mining jobs?

We must save the Great Barrier Reef.
