The Bentley Effect (Engadine)

Filmed over five years, this film documents an epic – and successful – struggle to keep Northern NSW free of invasive gasfields. The campaign culminated with dramatic community action in the peaceful farming valley of Bentley. What happened set an historic precedent and helped unleash a unique and inspiring social movement.

Guest Speaker:  David Chadwick, a farmer from Coonamble Shire on the edge of the Pilliga. David’s Coonamble Shire is reliant on water from the Great Artesian Basin which is under threat from Santos CSG. He has been fighting CSG for many years and is now on the frontline with plans for the gas pipeline to run through his local area.

Doors open at 7pm for cake, tea and coffee.
