McCarthy will be joined by author of Rich Land, Wasteland: How coal is killing Australia, Sharyn Munro at the Save Tarwyn Park Open Day this Sunday, July 31 from 10am to 2pm.
Sunday is the final day of the Andrews’ family lease on the property and from August 1, Korean mining company KEPCO will take over running of the property.
The public will have a chance to see first-hand Peter Andrews’ Natural Sequence Farming methods in practice.
Peter returned to Tarwyn Park two weeks ago to squat in protest until its significance is recognised by KEPCO and the Federal and NSW governments.
Since then more than 2500 people have signed an online petition to have Tarwyn Park heritage listed and preserved for future generations.
Korean mining company KEPCO has confirmed that a contract has been entered into for the purchase of the nearby Bylong Primary School, a report to Mid-Western Regional Council has revealed.
The report included an application by the company to purchase and close a segment of Upper Bylong Road and a segment of Woolleys Road which fall within the mine footprint of the Bylong Coal Project.
Council resolved to carry out public consultation on the application that would impact seven landholders.
The gates of Tarwyn Park will be open to general public from 10am to 2pm Sunday.
Mudmaps will be available for people to wander the property by the homestead, stables, Natural Sequence Farming sites (three different locations) and talks.
