Reclaim the streets. Originating in the U.K , R.T.S is a reaction against the multitude of new road developments eating into what’s left of public space and the natural environment. Many R.T.S actions in cities in Australia have brought an empowering breath of fresh air to the dance and protest scene here.The last Reclaim the Streets brought its distinctive brand of autonomous zone to the site of another community and environment destroying motorway proposal to Bexley North in March. The revamped Oms Not Bombs bus blocked the road near the train station. The broadsided bus attracted the police who at first thought they had the upper hand.

We argued that the road is in fact being opened. One of the reclaim the Street organizers were told by a cop, "ah ha, we've got you this time". But as over a thousand people came off the next train and up the steps, the policeman conceded that the situation had changed somewhat. People power really does have an effect. Police redirected traffic as a greenpeace solar rig powered the Oms sound system. A large mob of inner city dance heads, locals, anti M5 activists, young and old gatheredmade speeches and milled around the multiple areas mingling and grooving toa wide range of sounds. Good vibes ensued with the police mostly getting into the goodwill. An amazing beach party recovery put on by the "Free to Be Me" crew went off all night at Kernell.

Most of the crowd found the beach, but some were lost in the vast network of dunes.
