“It’s distressing to see the mine and see the change in the landscape,” Mr McAvoy said.
“We don’t know what damage the mine will do to our sacred Doongmabulla Springs.

The tour had previously stopped at a number of significant sites to the Wangan and Jagalingou people, and camped at “Dalgayu Dina”, the site on Bravus’ pastoral lease where Mr McAvoy and others have built a corroboree ground and campsite.
