UPDATE ON MINE POLLUTION IN THE ROYAL NP
You may remember that roughly 18 months ago I reported on a horrendous pollution event in Australia’s oldest national park, the Royal. The nearby Metropolitan Mine in Helensburgh had released coal material into Camp Gully Creek, which flows through beautiful rainforest before meeting the Hacking River, which itself is beautiful and is now home to a colony of recently translocated platypuses.
At the time, Peabody (Metropolitan Mine’s American owner) did not report the event, which sent thick, black, choking sludge downstream (check out the vid). It was only after I personally discovered the event (I’m a local, and just happened to chance upon it while down in the rainforest) and then subsequently harangued the EPA into taking action, and after that got the media involved, that Peabody actually acted on stopping the pollution.
Anyway, it was revealed at the end of last week that Peabody has plead guilty to three of the five charges the EPA subsequently laid (I actually gave an affidavit for the case). But those other two charges have mysteriously been dropped. I don’t have the details yet to know which ones, but what it does mean is that, at $1 million maximum fine for each charge, the most that Peabody can be now forced to pay will be just $3 million (which is not enough). But given the history of these things, it’s a fair bet that it will end up being substantially less. But who knows, maybe I’ll pleasantly surprised. What we do know, however, is that this event in 2022, as egregious as it was, has just been one of many. The good folk at Sutherland Shire Environment Centre (SSEC), who have been very proactive here, have for many years been raising the alarm about the repeated instances of pollution from the mine both in the years prior, and, most concerningly, after. It seems incredible that even after all the scrutiny placed on the mine after that 2022 event—scrutiny which was only amplified with the well-

THIS IS WHAT'S FLOWING INTO THE HACKING RIVER RIGHT NOW
Sorry to bombard you with more of this, but it seems that time is of the essence. Right now, this is what's flowing into the Hacking River, the jewel of the Royal, the world's second oldest national park. I've heard from sources that the Metropolitan Mine is claiming this is the remnant of an old event that happened weeks ago. I doubt it is, given what I've been told by people who visited weeks ago, and given what I saw yesterday. But let's take them at their word, in which case it's even more damning. They've had weeks to clean up their mess, and they've done nothing. And now every living creature in the Hacking downstream of the confluence is suffering the consequences.

ATTACK OF THE MOZZIES!!!
I promised my 8yo son an overnight camping trip during the summer, which never happened because I was just too busy with the mag. But after sending it to the printers the other day, I made sure that one of my key priorities was to make up for it now. What better place to take him, I thought, than to what is widely regarded as the cradle of the conservation movement in Australia, the Blue Gum Forest in the Grose Valley of NSW’s Blue Mountains. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite turn out as planned. Yes, even after the fires, the forest was still beautiful. But with all the rain, more of which fell while we were out, what my son is most likely to remember is not the soaring trees, but instead all the bitey things: leeches, of which we picked hundreds off our shoes and legs; and mosquitoes. The latter were in the thickest proportions I’ve ever seen. And I’ve spent a bit of time outdoors (I haven't been to Alaska, though). When we got to the Acacia Flat Campground (which we had to ourselves), a swarm immediately descended on us, leaving us no choice but to set up the tent as quickly as possible, jump inside, and then not set foot out of the tent again before morning. Even opening the fly for a few seconds to get something out of the vestibule would see what seemed like a hundred of the little buggers swarm in. It made me appreciative of one of the greatest outdoors inventions of all time: insect mesh for tents! I can only imagine what it would have been like there on Friday night without it.

CHARGED AT BY A WOMBAT!!!
Well, that was a first, for me at least. On the weekend I went to the excellent Coorongooba campsite in NSW’s Central West for a few days. There was spectacular scenery, with cliffs all around, and wildlife everywhere, including loads of roos, possums and goannas. There was also one very angry wombat. When I stopped my car to check out the depth of the water ford we were just about to cross, he charged at my door before circling the car. When I thought he’d gone, I jumped out of the car to walk down to the ford. The vid shows what happened next. He ended up charging me repeatedly, running literally (I kid you not) between my legs eight times. It’s not something I ever expect to experience again.
How was your weekend? I hope it didn’t involve you being bullied by wildlife.
