Is our iconic Great Barrier Reef really at risk? Beautiful Keppel Bay and the Fitzroy River delta at the head of that bay, (the largest estuarine ecosystem feeding into the Great Barrier Reef), are threatened with massive coal port developments. Sharyn Munro's book exposes the real story of coal: how people are hurting, and rebelling, as coal pushes into hitherto unthinkable areas; how the true costs outweigh any benefits; and how all of us will ultimately pay the price. 6pm. Readings Hawthorn, 701 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn.
