About Save the Arkaroola Sanctuary!
pictures of the magnificent arkaroola wilderness sanctuary in the northern flinders ranges in south australia, and, sadly, of marathon resources' destructive mineral exploration operations at mount gee in its heart
the spectacular countryside surrounding mount gee includes dramatic features such as the armchair and mount painter, and adjacent high-value wildernesses, such as the unique mawson plateau, which also need to be completely protected from this kind of intrusion
the targetted area is on the route of, and clearly visible from, the famous ridgetop tour, an unforgettable - and sometimes hair-raising! - 4WD run across the peaks, ridges and valleys of this spectacularly broken landscape
marathon resources proposes a uranium mine in the heart of arkaroola, despite the objections of conservationists, visitors, and the owners of the this privately-managed sanctuary.
for more information - and to take action - see the following links;

this is a public group specifically designed to raise awareness of this issue
by all means if you have any relevant photos of the stunning arkaroola sanctuary and the ridgetop tour - or of the mining activity - please post them
