Masked Owl Ball

For five years, the rainforests of Takayna / Tarkine faced a threat that should never have existed: a proposal to use these irreplaceable forests as a dump for toxic mine waste. For five years, a movement of passionate people said no. They camped, they locked onto forest-destroying machines, they wrote letters, they donated, they showed up — again and again and again.

And we won.

The rainforests are still standing. The ancient forests of McKimmie Creek in Takayna remain intact, as extraordinary and irreplaceable as they ever were. And every single person who was part of this campaign deserves to be celebrated.

The Masked Owl Ball is our moment to do exactly that. Join us at the magnificent Hobart City Hall for a night of live music, great food and drink, and stories from five years on the frontline, from the people who made this victory possible.

This is a night for everyone who believed when it was hard to believe, and held the line until it held.

Come celebrate with us. You earned it.
