    The People’s Blockade of the World’s Largest Coal Port: Why We’re Rising Up for No More Coal and Gas

    Walking around the camp in Muloobinba / Newcastle it was easy to forget you were at a protest at all, it felt more like a festival. The term ‘protestival’ was not just aspirational – it was accurate. (And, arguably, the best kind of festival).

    It is an honour to be the skipper of Oceania on the boat’s first Greenpeace campaign. It was easy to find Oceania in Port Douglas. The 21 metre ketch stands out from the crowd with a striking green hull and the characteristic rainbow on the bow, clearly a proud member of the Greenpeace fleet.

We acknowledge the enduring sovereignty of Indigenous peoples of Australia and the Pacific. We acknowledge we stand on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples and pay respect to elders past and present.
