Sunny Bins will be helping spread the audio with its wireless audio receivers at the historic STOP CSG human sign next Saturday. Here’s some more info from the Stop CSG Sydney group……
Only one week to go until the Human Sign in Sydney Park. Join us on Saturday 13 October to spell out “STOP CSG!” in Sydney Park. Meet at 12 noon in front of the smoke stacks (corner Princes Highway and Sydney Park Rd, St Peters).
We need more volunteers to help on the day

Bring a picnic. Bring a drink. There’ll be bands and music afterwards near the chimney stacks. Special notes: Wear any colour but Green (so we stand out against the Grass). Leave dogs at home
