In February, community climate action groups from across the continent and other concerned Australians are joining together for Australia’s Climate Action Summit in Canberra, the weekend before the first day of the 2009 Federal Parliament. At the Summit, ordinary Australians will send a powerful message to the Rudd Government on the eve of its second year that sets the agenda for urgent climate action in 2009.

Australia’ Climate Action Summit will be two days of facilitated meetings and workshops. The program will consist of four strands: campaign development, movement building, skills workshops, and information and discussion sessions. The aim of the two days is to create a strategic national climate campaign and form a national grassroots network.

    Friends of the Earth have organised a coach to leave from Melbourne to Canberra, and back again, specifically for the community day of action on Tuesday Feb 3 outside Federal Parliament as part of Australia’s Climate Action Summit.

    It is a 48 seater commercial coach so the trip will be pretty comfy. we are needing people to book in advance so that we know how many are coming and if we need to sort out travel for extra people to the day of action.

    Details:

    Buses will be leaving from in front of the State Library on the corner of Swanston and La Trobe Street, Melbourne at Noon on the 2nd of February arriving in Canberra at 8pm.

    People coming on the bus from Melbourne will be taken to a space where camping will be available, if you wish to make alternative accommodation arrangements please feel free to, but you will need to
    make your own way there from the camping site.

    Buses will leave the ACT at 2pm on the 3rd returning to Melbourne at 10pm.

    The suggested donation for the bus from Melbourne is $50 for the return journey (no one way tickets available)
