Gale force Kuradji

On Saturday July 6th we all gathered around a the 44 gallon fire drum on a blustery and sacred headland. The winds continued throughout the night at the windiest doof ever A small contingent of Ohms Not Bombers headed down to Kuradji, a.k.a Sandon Point to put on a beach party about one hour south of Sydney. We cruised down in a recently converted vegi-oil truck that runs on the oil that cafes throw away. Transport dosn't have to cost you an arm and a leg!.(check out  http://lab-rats.tripod.com/ to see how you can do the same to your Deisel motor)

Arriving at sunset at the embattled headland we were faced with the devastation that Stockland (the company responsible for developing Sandon Point)have inflicted on the sacred site. A huge area is fenced of a churned up beyond recognition. The court case continues to try and save the place from mindless and greedy development the whole community does not want. We visited the Aboriginal tent embassy down near the beach that was holding up well against the ever increasing winds that night. Locals reckon the biggest winds for many years. After a cuppa, we set up the vegi oil truck next to the picket up on the headland, the winds were picking up even more and almost tore the roof-rack of the truck, we managed to set up in the truck and have one speaker outside, the small but enthusiastic crowd almost blew away while dancing and keeping warm around the 44 gallon drum.We awoke in the morning the needle skipping around the middle of the last record that played before we all passed out sometime in the small hours.

. Stay tuned for more gigs in support of Karadji,the sacred Aboriginal site just north of Wollongong fighting for survival against the money hungry Stockland corporation.
