There were more arrests at Gloucester three hours north of Sydney this morning (Wednesday), as fracking continues behind a five metre high bush-green wall less than 150 metres from the heavily guarded road.
As protectors slowly make their way to the new camp, those who are hoping to turn the tide of mining that has already started in the region are preparing to do whatever it takes to halt Halliburton, who they say are wreaking irreparable damage on the water and earth in the Gloucester region on behalf of AGL.
Kit Hine from Castlemaine and Jimmy Moyle from Lismore lay down on the road leading to the main gate of the AGL site in the path of a bus transporting workers to the mine site.
Police were called and the pair were arrested and given notices to appear in court as the workers were moved to another bus to continue the journey to the fracking area.
Both men were served with notices to appear in court early December and plan to return to the area and spend time at the camp and to continue the fight against both coal seam gas mining and the proposed open cut coal mine at nearby Rocky Hill.
