The first rays of the sun caress the dunes at the mouth of the Powlett river as it snakes it’s way to the marine rich waters of Bass Strait.

Powlett River is the spot our illustrous government has told us we will build the southern hemispheres largest desalination plant. There has been no consultation or environmental impact studies just an announcement of what will happen. Needless to say this move to convert a wilderness and pastoral area into a pollution guzzling industrial estate is not being well recieved. To run this $3,200,000,000 plant an additional 1,200,000,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases will be released into the atmosphere each year plus it will pollute the local marine environment at a rate of 7,000litres a second which will obviously alter and possibly (some say definitely) destroy the local marine environment. This will in turn force the Philip Island Seal and Fairy Penguin (Parade) population to look for better feeding grounds risking the $75,000,000 a year that tourists spend visiting these natural attractions. On top of that the site for the plant as you can see is absolutely gorgeous (it’s 200m from where I took this photo). To find out more visit your water your say 100% of profits from this image will go to the, your water your say action group fighting fund (I’ve put the margin up more than usual as the donation thing is kind of pointless unless there’s a bit of money in it). For other shots from this area check out my Bass Coast gallery.

As always – click image for a more detailed view / / A chilly morning on the Powlett river…cold air descends from the hinterland and a slow moving fog drifts throughout the basin before exiting the river mouth in a spectacular plume into Bass Strait. / Here I try in vain to sneak up on a Royal Spoonbill feeding from on this mirror islet..alas – it flees to the opposing river bank as I meter this special scene. stand up now and have your say for our future – tell the Victorian Labor government – ‘NO DESALINATION’ more info @ yourwateryoursay.org – 100% of all profits I make on this goes to this crucial campaign that effects ALL of us. / / Fuji G617 – Velvia 100F, digitally converted to true B&W. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / see more of my TRUE panoramic photography by clicking on the image below / / see more photography of this beautiful region under threat below / /

This river outlet marks the northern boundary of the 2km planned exclusion zone for the Victorian government’s desalination plant (which will hopefully only be whilst the plant is being constructed). This coastline is pristine and very beautiful, hopefully it will remain so after the planned works are finished and the beaches are reopened to the public.
