Traditional owners of the Doongmabulla springs are concerned for the safety of the sacred site as a result of Adani’s Carmichael mine.
The company has yet to prove the wetlands will not be affected, as experts warn the mine could cause the springs to dry up.
Spokesman for the local elders Adrian Burragubba says the springs are significant to his people because they are the only source of water in our country that is eternal and continues to be alive and give life.
