Western Downs AlliancePeoples Blockade- Day 65
Looks like QGC are pretty much just about finished.
They have pulled most of their security guards out of the estate.
The site offices are gone from most of the gates as well.
This does NOT mean the Peoples Blockade is ending!
QGC have more gas wells in the estate they will want to connect- The Codie field for instance.
Our fight is far from over.
BASECAMP is still operational, and is undergoing a transformation with some more permanant structures being erected, all ready for winter.
With many supporters pitching in to get the job done. Morale is high around the campfire tonight, with discussions turning to the upcoming court hearing tomorrow for Bob, Drew, Libby and Thomas.

Thanks to them, our situation here in the estates has been brought to the attention of so many more people.
Many supporters expected to attend Chinchilla Court house tomorrow.
THANKYOU QGC and our Government for bringing in the QLD police and making it so much easier for us to gain national attention by being on hand to arrest our high profile people!
