Sludge at Camp Gully Creek
Water ecologist Dr Ian Wright says a lack of water samples from a polluted creek downstream from the Helensburgh coal mine is making it difficult to judge how the clean-up is progressing.

In response, Peabody, which operates the mine, says a team of 40 Metropolitan mine employees has worked since August cleaning up a 650 metre stretch of the creek. A spokesperson says work above the waterline is now complete at an estimated cost of nearly half a million dollars. Peabody has also obtained permission to begin a clean-up inside the National Parks Estate.

Sydney to Gong ride: The annual Sydney to Gong bike ride has raised $2.15 million to fight multiple sclerosis and could raise as much as $4 million this year. The event is capped at 10,000 riders and was fully subscribed after two years of COVID when the race couldn’t be held.
Taxis offered small relief: The chair of the Illawarra Taxi Network says the government’s offer to compensate the industry following the introduction of Uber falls “way short”. The New South Wales government is offering regional drivers between $40,000 and $195,000 per car to cover their losses. But Mohammad Choubassi says he’s paid up to $250,000 for his plates, and the compensation package doesn’t go far enough.
