 New South Wales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
New South Wales is Australia’s premier state in more ways than one: it’s not only the oldest of the five states, but it’s the most densely populated too.
Including Sydney, New South Wales covers an area about twice the size of Britain, with roughly a tenth of its population; not a very big state by antipodean standards, but its six and a quarter million residents constitute one-third of the country’s population.
South of Sydney the coast is relatively undeveloped, and there’s a string of low-key family resorts and fishing ports, great for water sports and fishing.

 Rivers SOS - longwall mining, mining & drilling, river pollution, Georges River, Nepean River, cataract river, ...
Rivers SOS calls on the NSW government to mandate a safety zone of at least 1 kilometre around all rivers in the state, to protect them from further permanent damage through the effects of mining under, or too close to, river beds.
In the mid 90's much of the Cataract River flow disappeared into the cracks in the river bed and methane and ethane gasses were expelled from the cracks, measuring up to 20 litres per second in some areas.
Rivers SOS wants some more responsible process to be put into place, but meanwhile we will continue to campaign for our 1 km safety zone around rivers.
