Bimblebox Nature Refuge

Bimblebox Nature Refuge, near Alpha, would have been destroyed if Clive Palmer’s China First coal project had been allowed to develop its proposed open cut mine as planned. Protected as a remnant of native vegetation in a vast area of cleared grazing land, the Nature Refuge has been the focus for a host of scientific studies in the past decade. Notable artists from across Australia used their talents to capture the nature of the bushland threatened by plans for a huge coal mine. The Bimblebox Alliance. The ongoing Bimblebox Art Project
