Farming families stretching back generations, landowners, locals and supporters who don’t want the Bentley area turned into a gasfield say they will fight tooth and nail for the very land that provides them food on their table. On Friday night, a full house at the historic Bentley Hall showed solidarity at the Aussies Against Fracking Bentley Fundraiser #1.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Nobody wants fracking in Australia we seen what it has done in America , we don’t want our water supply and land contaminated with gas and poisons.
We must stand united against this dreadful industry to protect our land, our water and our future.
