SORRY, WE HAVE SOLD OUT FOR THIS YEAR. FOR 2020 CALENDAR, PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THIS CAMPAIGN. WE HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR CALENDAR.

Our 2019 Bimblebox Nature Refuge Calendar features 12 fabulous artworks and two great photographs inspired during the Art, Science & Nature Camps, and from the Bimblebox 153 Birds traveling exhibition. Desert Uplands biodiversity is prominent in this calendar.

The artists have offered their superb skills toward the preservation of the Bimblebox Nature Refuge to help prevent its transformation into a coal mine. Clive Palmer’s company, Waratah Coal, has for many years owned an Exploration Permit for Coal on Bimblebox. Waratah Coal now holds permits at both State and Federal levels to proceed. Effects of coal on the Black-throated Finch are graphically represented on August’s page.

Bimblebox Nature Refuge lies in the southern Galilee Basin. If the Adani Mine goes ahead, Bimblebox could be next in line. The proceeds from the calendar sales will go toward projects that help to protect Bimblebox and other Nature Refuges, plus assist with Bimblebox running expenses, which have recently become harder to meet due to drought in Central Queensland.

Pages are printed high quality paper, for best presentation of high-quality Artwork.

We invite our friends to support the EDO in the new endeavor against Adani as this mine will be the catalyst for the opening of the Galilee Basin for coal mining. EDO is seeking a judicial review of the Federal Environment Minister’s decision to allow assessment of the project to proceed without applying the water trigger.
