Coal Train in Australia

A coal trains crosses a bridge over a fresh water creek in the Bowen Basin. In March 2014 a Greenpeace photo and video team traced the path of export coal in Queensland from the proposed Adani Carmichael coal mine site, along the proposed rail corridors, to Abbot Point Coal Terminal. Along the way interviews and testimonials were gathered from people in the region about the impacts the potential expansion the Galilee basin will have on their lives and livelihoods. The Carmichael mine could be one of the biggest coal mines in the world should it go ahead and Abbot Point coal terminal expansion would see it become one of the biggest coal ports in the world, at a time when the world needs to move from fossil fuels and stave off irreversible climate change.
