Saving Anvil Hill

We have to start somewhere, and that place is Anvil Hill. Anvil Hill is one of the biggest of the new open-cut coal mines seeking approval in the Hunter Valley. It is also a key driver of the expansion of the Valley's coal infrastructure like the huge new coal loader at Newcastle which is being partly financed by Anvil Hills owner, Centennial Coal. Anvil Hill is also an area of great environmental significance. It is the largest intact stand of remnant vegetation on the Central Hunter Valley floor and is home to endangered animals and plants, as well as being a major catchment of Wybong Creek, which flows into the Goulburn and Hunter Rivers.

Saving Anvil Hill is the first step toward stopping more coal mines that devastate the Hunter Valley and fuel climate change, and kick starting a clean energy future for NSW. Go to www.anvilhill.org.au for more information.
