Mining The Blue Mountains
Dr Ian Wright has been investigating pollution from mines in the UNESCO World Heritage Blue Mountains for over ten years. "Mining The Blue Mountains" takes you on a journey into the wilderness of Grose Valley and along its waterways with Ian and his team of water researchers.
Mines have been synonymous with economic growth around NSW for over a century. However as these mines reach the end of their shelf life most are simply locked up and left to continue to pollute our river systems - so who cleans up the mess?
