Climate Camp shuts down Dendrobium coal mine.

7.05am. Currently, four people from Climate Camp 2009 have scaled and locked themselves onto the coal conveyor belt at the Dendrobium
coal mine near Helensburgh, NSW.

Spokesperson for the group Aimee Bull-McMahon said “We have shut down the conveyor from this underground polluter as part of the Climate
Camp 09 three days of action. The Dendrobium coal mine, owned by Illawarra Coal, has been disastrous for the surrounding water ways that
the local community relies on for drinking water.”
