We commenced on 14 April and we’re pretty pleased with the engagement so far. We meet outside the Forestry Corp offices in Coffs each Friday – 8.30 to 9.30. The address is 30 Park Ave CH. Our focus is forest destruction across the mid north coast, climate action and the promised establishment of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP).
We are a group of Nannas and honorary Nannas concerned about the climate crisis and in particular the destruction of our precious North Coast Forests. We Nannas are watching, watching! We take our concerns directly to the greedy corporations destroying the forest, land, air and water in a non-threatening, artistic, creative and amusing way. We sit, knit, crochet; we drink tea, we yarn – to anyone who will listen, we raise awareness and we support the work of all conservationists, citizen scientists and forest ecologists. And we wear silly outfits, indeed outrageous outfits in YELLOW and BLACK.Knitting Nannas happily support other anti-greed groups at their protests and meetings, or online. We are non-party political. We annoy all politicians equally!The Australian Knitting Nannas acknowledge that the Gumbaynggirr land we are trying to save for the kiddies has always been First Peoples’ Country. We applaud their caretakership over the previous tens of thousands of years.We pay our respects to Elders, past and present, and pledge to do what we can to protect the Country for future Elders.
