I've featured quite a few Superman's Barn shots lately but it's such a spectacular setting that I'm sure you wont mind just one more.
The main reason for posting this image is to draw your attention to the plans of the Shenhua Group to establish a coal seam gas mine in the area to the left of setting sun.
Residents are concerned about the impact the mine could have on the highly fertile Liverpool Plains land, affects on groundwater and the impact increased activity will have to local infrastructure.
The residents are actively opposing the mine via blockades and representations at all levels of government but it's a bit like a David and Goliath contest.
The mine is expected to become fully operational between December 2015 and March 2016, following a 12-18 month construction period, if mine leases and environmental approval is obtained.
Lets hope this does not happen and the area remains as is.
