The ceremony being performed, Waddananggu, literally \u2018the talking\u2019 in the local Wirdi language, began as an act of resistance and reaffirmation of sovereignty on the Wangan and Jagalingou Country threatened by the mine. The site has since evolved into a community hub, which provides space for mob to share, transmit and reconnect to culture, and learn new skills. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=33QEmybj1cs&amp;ab_channel=WanganandJagalingou-StandingourGround\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open invitation<\/a> exists for all to come and witness Waddananggu and stand in solidarity to protect human rights, culture, and Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chances are you\u2019re familiar with the widespread opposition to the Carmichael Coalmine, both locally and abroad. The project to mine thermal coal in the Galilee Basin, operated by the multinational company Adani (itself owned by the world\u2019s third-wealthiest person), has drawn intense scrutiny for the severe threat the venture poses to the local environment, particularly at a time when future-focused energy discourse strongly favours cleaner methods of energy production. The mine has created new threats to large swathes of Country, while at the same time drastically exacerbating existing issues. From the dredging of over a million cubic metres of seafloor at our Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area to make way for a coal terminal at Abbot Point \u2013 where in 2017 Adani exceeded its pollution limit by 800% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-09-05\/adani-prosecuted-over-release-of-sediment-near-barrier-reef\/10204374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">after releasing heavily polluted water into the reef and surrounding wetlands<\/a> \u2013 to leaking hydrocarbons into the groundwater of the Great Artesian Basin some 300kms inland, seriously endangering the environmentally and culturally significant Doongmabulla Springs. Toxic dust from the mine blankets the surrounding area, polluting land and water alike, interfering with cultural practice and poisoning traditional bush foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A series of desert oases, the springs at Doongmabulla are comprised of 160 separate wetlands, which are home to over 56 endemic species. They provide much needed respite for animals and people alike in an otherwise extremely dry environment, and are a reliable water source for communities and graziers during drought. Alarmingly, the potential impact of Adani\u2019s activity around the springs is not well understood, with the<a href=\"https:\/\/dcceew.gov.au\/system\/files\/pages\/cb8a9e41-eba5-47a4-8b72-154d0a5a6956\/files\/csiro-geoscience-australia-final-advice.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> CSIRO having raised major concerns<\/a> about the mining company underestimating environmental impact in its water modelling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2021\/jul\/08\/drop-in-aquifer-levels-near-adani-mine-sparks-concern-for-sacred-wetlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">With an already observable and \u2018significant\u2019 drop in aquifer levels, there is concern that irreversible damage to the region has already been \u2018locked in\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sacred Doongmabulla Springs are also home to the final resting place of Mundunjudra (the Rainbow Serpent) in Wangan and Jagalingou Dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-1720x1147.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1-544x363.jpg 544w, https:\/\/www.purefinance.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Image_1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><em>\"Our ancestral homelands are the locus of creation, our lives are enfolded into a sacred space.

Over the weekend huge swathes of NSW, from Mudgee to Albury, were thrashed with rain. In Canowindra (a forty-five minute drive from Orange), the Belubula River had flooded at levels not seen for seventy years. Shortly after, the nearby Wyangala Dam<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/video\/2022\/nov\/15\/torrents-of-water-spill-from-wyangala-dam-in-central-west-nsw-increasing-flood-risk-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> began spilling into the Lachlan River<\/a>, reaching a staggering flow of 230,000 megalitres a day. This spillage rushed down system to Mandagery Creek, which flows through the centre of Eugowra, the wall of water devastating homes, livestock, farmland, and infrastructure along the way, before quickly reaching the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Monday evening the entirety of Eugowra had become flood-affected and cut off, only accessible by boat or helicopter. To add to the chaos and confusion, telecommunications had gone down over the course of the morning, hindering the efforts of both locals and emergency service crews alike as they fought to protect the community. The SES deployed twelve helicopters, which made a total of 159 flood rescues (about 1\/3 of the town\u2019s population), many from the rooftops of buildings that had withstood the initial \u2018tsunami\u2019, with some residents waiting up to six hours for a lift. The scope of the emergency was so that according to SES commissioner Carlene York<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2022\/nov\/14\/nsw-floods-friends-and-family-struggle-to-locate-loved-ones-as-waters-rise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> the SES was required to appeal for overseas assistance for the first time<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">\u2018<em>The best way I can describe that night in Eugowra was to liken it to a war zone\u2026The pure force of the water and the destruction it caused is something I will never forget.\u2019 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ses.nsw.gov.au\/volunteer-profiles-2022-reflection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grace Langlands, SES Orange City Volunteer.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come Tuesday morning, it was clear that around eighty percent of homes and businesses in Eugowra were damaged.

Prior to this, the biggest flood on record had been 10.01m. Impacted areas stretch over two-hundred kilometres from Parkes in the North to Yass in the South, however it was Eugowra that experienced the most widespread destruction. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has faced criticism for its failure to predict and sufficiently warn residents of the imminent emergency,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2022-12-06\/how-an-extreme-flash-flood-destroyed-eugowra\/101711140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> even cancelling its warning for potentially dangerous and lift-threatening flash flooding a few hours before the most violent waves swept through the town<\/a>.

Many parts of this country are subject to the vicious cycle of environmental disasters \u2013 droughts, fires and floods, and despite the popular view that this is just part and parcel of living in The Lucky Country, the reality seems to be that things are in fact worsening. Significantly. According to NSW Government data,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/environment\/weather\/welcome-to-molong-where-floods-drought-and-fire-may-be-too-much-to-bear-20221116-p5byp7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> most regions across the state have been under at least one natural disaster declaration since 2017<\/a>.

Despite this however, we can also expect to see an increase in, and the lengthening of, hot and dry periods, bringing with them drought and fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Towns in Central-Western NSW are tragic yet apt examples of how varied and extreme the consequences of our changing climate are.
