Western Downs Field Trip
Here is a photo essay from the FAQ Research field trip to Dalby, Cecil Plains, Tara, Chinchilla and other sites on the Western Downs, Queensland. As we were quite technically challenged out west due to limited internet connection, I took a lot of pictures with my mobile phone, instead of my 'real camera'.
We tracked the debate to the source - where its impact is currently being felt on the towns and farms of the Western Downs. We interviewed a wide range of folks, from Senators to local politicians through farmers, activists and townsfolk. Many have intriguing and nuanced views on the Coal Seam Gas debate.
Should you have further interest in this issue, you can find out more on our project website, see some of our filmed interviews, read articles written by our team of experts, or check out the projects dedicated blog on the Crikey website.

The Moonie River
Here it is - the Moonie River. It's hard to believe there were extensive floods in this region recently. It brings the well-know poem "My Country" to mind, particularly this verse:
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
