About the Tour
As part of the Pilliga Ultra weekend, join this guided bus tour through the Pilliga Forest to witness the impacts of the Narrabri Gas Project firsthand.
Led by local grassroots group North West Protection Advocacy, the tour will take you deep into the Pilliga to explore gas infrastructure sites, culturally significant areas, and key water sources at risk.
Key stops may include:
- Bohena 3 – a retired gas well tucked behind the Newell Highway
- Bohena Creek & Billabong – morning tea by the water
- Bibblewindi Water Treatment Facility
- Dewhurst 28 gas well
- Mt Pleasant Creek – Gomeroi archaeological area
- Yellow Springs Dam – a quiet lunch spot surrounded by native forest
- Smithers Gate – where we trace the path of the proposed Narrabri Lateral Pipeline
