What an incredible day we had at Doubtful Creek. I have such a mixture of emotions from the day. It was a physical and emotional drain, but also an uplifting spiritual experience also. To be amongst a 300 strong crowd of people all united to stand against this destructive industry is almost overwhelming at times. Every now and then I witness a scene of such solidarity at these Non Violent Direct Actions, that I have to fight back the tears which threaten to pour out of me. All day you can swing between spontaneous laughter, anger and frustration, singing, shouting, talking, being shoved, pushed, pulled. It is easy to take on the emotions and energy other people are pouring out, and that in itself is exhausting. But together, amongst friends, family and strangers, we stand united. Despite all our different ways of letting out our feelings, we are all there for the common good of our people, our water, our country. Our beautiful Australia....
