Photographs: Jabiluka protest camp, 1997.

In July 1997 over 60 students from across Australia travelled from the Students of Sustainability conference in Townsville to Kakadu to participate in a Week of Action on Mirarr country. The Mirarr took the students to the Jabiluka lease and Ranger uranium mine and held a public meeting in Jabiru. This event sowed the seeds of the Jabiluka Action Groups (JAGs). The national JAG network was a key element of the campaign and actively engaged a diverse group of people right around the country.
