My name is Anthony Houston I’m a farmer from Tasmania.

This is a story about my granddaughter’s wish to save the Great Barrier Reef.

Three weeks ago, my six-year-old granddaughter Evie came up to me and said, “grandad I have asked my class if they could draw pictures of the Great Barrier Reef to give to you to take to Mr Adani”.

Well, this caught me by surprise so I said “does your mother know”. She said “no”.

I said does your teacher know and she said “yes”. Next time I saw her mother, Clare, I asked her whether she knew what Evie was doing, she said yes she did and she was happy with it.

As the anti-Adani convoy winds its way north from Hobart, I’m calling on farming and coal mining families to come together around a new vision for the future of our region.

I’m a second-generation grazier near Jericho, two hours away from Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine, but I also understand the fears of the many families in my region who rely economically on mining.

They're the touring group who have dominated headlines for the past week and Coffs Harbour was the focal point of their movements over the Easter weekend.

The Stop Adani Convoy is a collection of Australians who are seriously concerned about the approval of the Adani Mine and what it will mean for our climate and for future generations.

Over 3,000 people packed into Mullumbimby Showground in northern NSW today to greet the Stop Adani Convoy. Organisers in the Bob Brown Foundation were stunned and delighted by the massive turnout.
