About Sandon Point Sandon Point comprises 61-hectares of open space between the coastal villages of Thirroul and Bulli in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, on the east coast of NSW, Australia. It is a declared Aboriginal place and significant for a number of reasons including ecological, historical and as public open space.

Members of the local community have worked tirelessly for close to a decade, seeking to protect the area. The Sandon Point

Aboriginal Tent Embassy (SPATE) was established in December 2000, soon followed by the Sandon Point Community Picket in March 2001. SPATE was rebuilt following an arson attack in 2005. The 24/7 Community Picket structure was destroyed by arson in 2006, transforming into a mobile picket. In the face of such dangerous harassment, the local community nevertheless continues to work to protect and preserve the area

However there is a great big country still waiting to be saved, and now we know we can win. This convoy is now taking to the road to visit all those precious sites around our awesome country still threatened by greedy mining compaines. Major focus' will be on CSG, Uranium and saving the Burrup Peninsular from further damage, and fighting for it to be World Heritage listed. We leave to protect part of this ancient land first walked upon 130 million years ago by dinosaurs who left their prints, then walked upon, loved, cared for and respected for at least the last 40,000 yrs ago by the original inhabitants of this land, a history of culture, country and tradition that still lasts and is very strong amongst the Goolarabooloo people today. This is all under threat for short term gain. Woodside alongside their joint venture partners and the West Australian Govt are hell bent on destroying this legacy of our world's history for 5 decades of gas flow and a few billion $$ for their company shareholders and executives. By building the world's biggest gas hub right in the middle of Sacred Aboriginal Ground. NOT ON OUR WATCH!! The Campervan will be launched at a Special event in Newtown on April 17th from 4pm till late. All who come along will have the opportunity to leave a handprint and message on the van in support of the Goolarabooloo and their defence of their Ancestors ancient burial sites, and one of the last remaining Songlines in Australia. If you aren't up to speed on the Goolarabooloo or Songlines please ask.
