 Why do so many Sydneysiders yet know about one of Australia’s most stunning pagoda landscapes literally a two hour’s drive away, near Lithgow? Learn about this remarkable geomorphological wonderland that many believe is unique in the world. How might the protection of these pagodas lead to a new vision for not only the environment but for Indigenous heritage? Why is this campaign so ground breaking in its call for a 'just transition economy' and a safe climate future?
