Peoples Blockade of the World's Largest Coal Port - 2024, Part 1: Deep Welcome to Country

Join the the circle of thousands and be challenged by a deep and unique Welcome to Country at the Peoples Blockade of the worlds largest coal port. Uncle Juduloo, didge and singing  melds to a deep plea to care for the land, before hundreds of people and canoes entered the coal port shipping channel to disrupt movements of coal ships. Over 170 people were arrested for blocking the coal shipping channels but that was only a fraction of what happened at this well organised and uplifting event.
