A student-led flotilla including kayaks, sailboats, paddle boards, and surfboards set sail in Apollo Bay Harbour to send a message to oil companies that they are not welcome to drill in the Great Australian Bight.
The flotilla was organised by a 15-year-old student from nearby Apollo Bay College.
The event coincided with the Rainbow Warrior's visit to the town, as part of the Making Oil History ship tour. Over the coming months, the Rainbow Warrior will investigate, document, and showcase Australia’s most unsung treasure - Great Australian Bight - to the entire country and the rest of the world in preparation for the battle against oil drilling.
