Coal Exports from Newcastle stopped

13 July. A community rally of some 500 in Newcastle today people halted coal shipment to the Port Waratah Coal Loader.

Protestors marched from the Climate Camp in Wickham, along the railway track, to the entrance to the coal loader.

A number of people were arrested when they entered the rail line, some locked themselves onto the coal wagons while others stood aloft the fully laden coal wagons.
A huge banner, saying 'Danger Climate change ahead' was dopped onto the tracks.
No trains moved during the protest.
