Uranium walk

News in Brief

During September, 40 participants including “traditional owners” and supporters from France, the US and New Zealand were undertaking a 1,700-km 11-week walk from the town of Wiluna in Western Australia to the state capital of Perth. The walk, due to arrive on 28 October, is in protest at uranium mining in Australia, particularly at proposals to mine uranium near Wiluna, a centre for the local Aboriginal population. www.nuclearfreefuture.com
