In a few years time, you'll hopefully, look back on this page and feel satisfied that you didn't give up! I'm for Green Energy, we had solar panels on our motorhome almost 20 years ago - but not at the cost of those living next door to something that in different circumstances would be deemed noise pollution! I'd focus on those 'bureaucrats" and their policies & procedures!! The layout is fabulous, as always - love the journalling!!

I live in a small town in Illinois in the US - Mt. Pulaski, a farm community. We have been fighting the same fight as you. There are signs all over our town with the name Re-Light in a circle with a line through it. The company comes from Italy - and is pushing hard to set up wind turbines all over our area and in the town north of us as well. The fight isn't over yet - so, as they say, we will keep fighting the good fight! And, you too - good luck in "fighting the good fight."Kathy Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355402763522170552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912877030466803602.post-87355814605063454712015-05-09T01:01:13.370+10:002015-05-09T01:01:13.370+10:00Wow-what a layout and statement!Wow-what a layout and statement!Cindy Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409058852706188433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912877030466803602.post-14851640430001022842015-05-08T22:50:01.839+10:002015-05-08T22:50:01.839+10:00Thanks so much Julie.

Good on you for recording this time and event and fight for your land.. At the moment for us we were trying to stop a work camp for 300 workers just across the road from us for the Toowoomba bypass.. We are not happy for this camp as the paddock is lovely bush and our road has not even been fixed from the 2011 floods. So the matter is going to court, and of course we do not have the finances to fight this.. So we are just waiting to see what is going to happen, so I know how you feel.. Fabulous layout...

The journalling is raw and powerful and I agree with everything you said so eloquently. It seems that pollies are always looking to do the populist thing and bother anyone beyond the city lights. Don't they realize that without the our precious farmers we are reliant on polluted food from overseas countries. I can't imagine living next to that noise. Congrats on taking up the fight. I wish you success.Helen Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771288329591629511noreply@blogger.com
