Rising Tide 2025 - Newcastle

Second Day of Blockade.

More coal ships delayed, and a lot of committed protesters making it happen. Awesome work from so many people.

A sign reading, 'the power of the people is greater than the people in power'

View over Horseshoe beach: crowd on shore, gathered kayakers setting out on the water, police launch and bulk carrier (ship) entering the harbour in the channel off the beach. #RisingTide #RisingTide2026 #HorseshoeBeach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU

Protesters from Rising Tide on Horseshoe beach. One with a banner that reads No More Fossil (the word fuel obscured by people). Kayak flotilla is in the water with a police launch between the kayakers and the bulk carrier entering the harbour heading for the shipping channel off the beach.

Did circle back to see what the communal weaving project looked like. 3 woven panels that will be a special carpet. Not sure if it's totally finished yet but i love it! #RisingTide #RisingTide2025 #weaving

Forest panel. Light greens dotted with darker puffs and stripes (like trees or vegetation) and brown.

Another panel with sand on the left (browns and beiges) and water on the right.

Blue panel meant to represent ocean waves. Lots of different blues with a white edge that curves in and out like a wave hitting the sand.

For the third year in a row a bunch of deadset legends are blockading the largest coal port in the world.

Wish I could be there, sending lots of love and support from Germany!

Thousands of climate activists launched kayaks and small boats into a major Australian harbour on Saturday as a flotilla protest entered its second day.

Breaking: Newcastle Port is now closed to coal ships!

Rising Tide say their actions are peaceful, describing the event as a family-friendly mobilisation with a serious purpose.

Later tonight, I’m going to start posting my reflections on this weekend just gone’s #RisingTide blockade of #Newcastle coal port, but here’s a good starting point… I was on the protest site for all of five minutes before I did this interview with Newcastle Herald. Lovely journalist and photographer to chat with.

Good morning Fediverse!
Back in Canberra, didn’t get arrested on the weekend (but helped friends who did), shut down a coal port, danced to great music at the protestival, recharged my mental batteries for the ongoing work to make the world a better place for everyone.
On the bus to work to do computer touching, listening to my protest songs playlist.
