Peace and green campaigners will be increasing their activity in the Rockhampton region this week in opposition to Joint US – AUS military exercises, Exercise Talisman Sabre, which officially begins today. The Peace Convergence is an alliance of peace, environmental, indigenous and religious groups and individuals.
Reported to be the US’s largest military exercise, Talisman Sabre involves land, sea and air forces practicing bombing, landing and raiding primarily in Central Queensland - just north of Rockhampton - at Shoalwater Bay and in the nearby Great Barrier Reef Marine Park - as well as in the Coral, Arafura and Timor Seas and in the NT.
