A group of Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners opposed to a controversial coal mine in central Queensland are embarking on a 5-day bike ride, to draw attention to the damage they say is being done on their Country.
About 100 cyclists are taking part in the Tour De Carmichael, a 105 kilometre guided ride from the Gregory Highway to Adani’s Carmichael mine site.
Along the way, participants will visit a number of significant sites, including Twin Hills and the Belyando River, and learn about Wangan and Jagalingou’s stories, culture and totems.
