Mumbulla State Forest Action
On Sunday, a mass forest protest of nearly 300 locals and Greens from across the state enjoyed choirs, speeches and the world premier of a forest theatre production in Mumbulla State Forest. This forest, home to a koala population and also significant indigenous sites, is under severe threat of logging. Following are photos from Sundays protest.

Breaking news today is that in the morning three protesters, including Greens Councillor Keith Hughes, locked themselves onto forest machinery. This afternoon police removed the three protesters and also arrested a traditional Aboriginal owner, who has subsequently been released. Photos from that event can be seen on Flickr here.
