Australia, you bloody legends. You took the Global Climate Strike and you ran with it so hard, it’s shocked us all.

With cities like Melbs, Sydney, Brissie and Hobart copping some major attention for huuuuge crowds, that doesn’t mean the rest of our Great Southern Land didn’t show the fuck up too. In fact, there are some pretty heartwarming images out there of crowds descending on everywhere from Geelong to Byron Bay.
All up, the numbers right now according to SMH are around 300,000+ and climbing, across eight major cities and over 100 towns. The biggest turnout Australia-wide since the protest against the Iraq War in 2003, which saw 500k.
Huge turn out in Cairns! If you breathe air, you should care.#ClimateStrike #schoolstrike4climate #FridaysForFuture #StopAdani pic.twitter.com/CuNGREXMOv

Bloody gorgeous stuff, Australia. Here’s hoping our united front moves a few of these goddamn mountains, huh.
