the woodchip export facility on Kooragang Island to protest against woodchipping of native forests. The site is the major export point for woodchips from the north-east forests of NSW, and the protest coincided with the arrival of a woodchip export ship. The action, organised by the Newcastle branch of the Wilderness Society, involved a peaceful blockade of the road. Police were used to remove demonstrators, but no arrests were made.
