SUMMARY:Films to inspire climate action with guest speaker Paul Sinclair\, ACF Campaign Director and Deputy CEO
DESCRIPTION:We are feeling a bit overwhelmed with the news lately and we expect you may be feeling that also. \nAs Joan Baez famously stated – Action is the antidote to despair – so we’re always looking for the most impactful ways we can act and support you to act also. \nWe do feel we are all best acting inside our sphere of influence by acting locally while thinking globally.  However\, sometimes\, we need to extend our range a little.  This is one of those times. \nWe wrote to you on 14 September about the importance of acting to save Scott Reef that is potentially impacted by the proposed Browse Basin development as part of Woodside’s North West Shelf extension and expansion.  We included in that email the ABC News article by Rhiannon Shine from 13 September 2025 titled North West Shelf extension comes at critical juncture in Australia’s climate conversation.  We are\, indeed\, at a critical juncture.  Your ACF-AWR has continued to monitor this situation and we want to raise further awareness and inspire you to act also.  So\, we’re holding an event and we hope you can join us: \nWhere: Hybrid event: CD Blake Lecture Theatre\, Building 751 (see map)\, Charles Sturt University\, Elizabeth Mitchell Drive/Milawa Drive\, Thurgoona\, NSW\, 2640 or online (RSVP to receive the link to join)\nWhen: Saturday 25 October\, 2 – 4 pm\nWhat: Two compelling short films – Dr Richard Denniss (30 mins) and Corals’ Last Stand (38 mins) \nDr Richard Denniss is a prominent economist and Executive Director of the Australia Institute.  In this short (30 min) film\, he presents our Federal Government with a reality check in a candid address before the Federal Senate Environment Committee. \nCorals’ Last Stand is a multi-award-winning documentary about Scott Reef\, one of our last ancient interconnected coral ecosystems located nearly 300km from the WA north-west coast\, which has recently come under serious threat from Woodside Energy’s Gas expansion this year. \nWe are also thrilled to have Paul Sinclair\, ACF Campaign Director and Deputy CEO join us for a follow-up discussion. \nTea and coffee will be available for those attending the face-to-face event. \nRSVP as soon as possible so you don’t miss securing your seat. \nPlease email acf.awr@gmail.com if you are attending in person for catering purposes. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon. \nBart\, Ali\, Jonathon and your ACF-AWR team.

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Myrtleford to Bright bike ride.
DESCRIPTION:This is a popular ride on the fully sealed Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail. There are no big climbs or descents\, so it’s not too taxing\, but you do need to be able to cover the 60kms comfortably. We will meet at the rear of the Coles Supermarket in Myrtleford. The route takes us through Ovens\, Eurobin and Porepunkah so there is the option to shorten the ride by joining us from one of those places. We will find a cafe in Bright to have lunch before riding back. Participants must have a roadworthy bike and a spare tube and puncture repair kit.

SUMMARY:Nature’s next chapter: 2025 John Paul Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The urgency of environmental storytelling\n\nThe John Paul Memorial Lecture is made possible thanks to the continued support and generosity of the Paul Family Foundation. \nSo many of us can attribute our love of nature to environmental communication pioneers such as Sir David Attenborough\, Dr Jane Goodall or Rachel Carson. Who is following in their footsteps to fly the flag for nature?  \nThere is growing urgency to protect what’s left of our ecosystems and biodiversity. How do we cut through\, inspire and communicate this urgency – on a local and global scale?   \nAnd importantly\, how does this translate to action on the ground?  \nFor the 10th annual John Paul Memorial Lecture\, we’re delighted to invite you an evening of inspiration and wonder with three of Victoria’s most outstanding environmental storytellers.  \nWe are thrilled to gather in-person for this special evening. As we appreciate not everyone can come to Melbourne\, we are also pleased to livestream this event.
