Anti-coal protesters will take part in a Tour De Carmichael 105km bicycle ride to a mine site in Central Queensland in a show of opposition to the project.
More than 100 cyclists left the Gregory Highway on Tuesday morning to begin their ride to the Carmichael mine site.
In a statement, event organisers said the next five days of their journey would include a guided tour of Wangan and Jagalingou country with Coedie McAvoy, as well as passing Bravus Mining and Resources’ Carmichael mine site.
But a Bravus spokeswoman has slammed the group for “putting their own safety and that of our workers at risk”.
