Liverpool Plains farms in miners’ sights. June 14, 2015. CSG and coal mining stories. Published in The Saturday Paper. Aug 16, 2014. Generational farmers are preparing to stand their ground as BHP and China Shenhua Energy seek to mine coal in some of the nation’s richest agricultural land, on the NSW Liverpool Plains. There was a press release put out by Whitehaven recently, Duddy says, about the way they were knocking down the trees, where they were going to gently shake them so the creatures would move...

Standing Farm (my title Last Woman Standing) published in The Saturday paper, 18/7/15. July 20, 2015. Wendy Bowman, an 81-year-old widowed grandmother, is the last woman standing between fertile farming land, the village of Camberwell and yet another massive mining expansion in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. She still works a 190-hectare farm by herself at Camberwell, near Singleton, in country that’s been in her family for generations and was part of the original settlement in the area. They can’...

Best known as frontman and songwriter for hard-travelling band The Re-mains, and after twenty years on the road through Australia, Canada and Europe, Mick Daley has taken a turn for the verse with a swag of new solo picking songs. Reared on Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Townes Van Zandt and Nick Cave, these songs bear their lyrical and musical hallmarks, by turns tender and savage. With these ballads and dirges he delivers a rich history as a genuine Australian folksinger. Mick’s new solo work, which returns ...

A potted history of Mazstock. May 26, 2016. Mick Daley's Corporate Raiders. Pineapples from the Dawn of Time. A potted history of Mazstock*. May not be factually accurate. My recollections of the inaugural Mazstock are hazy at best. It was held at the fabulous Winsome Hotel in the heyday of Maz’s reign there, an impossibly debauched and gloriously fun era that would have made the Swinging Sixties, the Fabulous Thirties and the Nihilistic Nineties look like a tea party in Fred Nile’s drawing room. Bands g...

A woman of substance. July 21, 2014. CSG and coal mining stories. I attended the 80. Birthday party of Valerie Axtens, a delightful and much loved Lismore matriarch, a few years ago. Midway through the afternoon the modest party was enlivened by the mayor, Cr Jenny Dowell, who marched briskly in and began greeting everyone warmly by name. I was astonished when she knew my name and enough about to have a short but genuine conversation but that’s the kind of person the mayor of Lismore is. 8220;I believe i...

December 4, 2014. CSG and coal mining stories. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. As dawn broke and mist lifted off the Avon River, six police vehicles rolled down Fairbairns Lane towards us, eight kilometres from Gloucester. Outside the gate shielding the river paddock where AGL’s gas hub is hidden behind a fifty metre square fortress, around 30 protesters tensed in the chill air. The police too were adopting a heavy-handed approach. Nearly outnumbering the protestors, they muscled into the group at the gat...
