GIICA want to fence off most of #Barrambin / #VictoriaPark this Monday 1st of June - in less than 3 days! This is 6 years before the games, without having released a construction plan for the public to review. That would require kicking out the First Nations camps on this culturally and historically significant site – during National Reconciliation Week. Our green lungs are being sold off. See below what we can do. Please boost 🔁 #OlympicGames #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane #SEQ 1/?

On the same website, you can still sign the petition against a stadium in the middle of our biggest inner-city park: https://www.savevictoriapark.com/petition and donate to the legal fund: https://www.savevictoriapark.com/donate Donating via Friends of the Earth makes your donation tax-deductible. The same website has lots of resources to learn more about why constructing a stadium there is a terrible idea, but here's a shortlist of 10 reasons: https://www.savevictoriapark.com/why-a-stadium-in-victoria-park-doesnt-make-sense 3/? #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Barrambin

The Goori Camp Embassy is on site. Between today and the 2nd of June, they call on everyone to "Fill the Park and Defend Living Heritage" by joining them, hanging out, and increasing the size of the camp. As well as physically joining, you can learn more and donate to their fund here: https://chuffed.org/project/177541-goori-camp-embassy Here is some coverage: https://nit.com.au/19-05-2026/24364/goori-camp-embassy-calls-on-community-to-help-defend-barrambin If you're on Insta, follow them: https://www.instagram.com/gooricampembassy/ 4/? #OlympicGames #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane #SEQ #decolonisation

Join the protest on Sunday 31st of May, 12 pm, outside the Herston Road entrance to the park. Bring you signs, your voices, your family, your music. That will be the last day GIICA will let us use these 32 hectares of green space, and sit under centuries-old gum trees animals call home before they cut them down. https://www.savevictoriapark.com/trees (edit: sorry, my map had the wrong area, missed a 0 in my division 😅. Fixed now.) 5/? #conservation #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane #SEQ #GIS

Last week, I organised a Bioblitz to kick off collecting as many #iNaturalist observations as possible before they kick us out. The collection continues, so I encourage locals to go enjoy the park while they can while contributing to iNat so we can have a better baseline of what #biodiversity exists and is at risk of being lost. Here's my write-up about the event: https://stragu.codeberg.page/posts/2026-05-27_barrambin-biodiversity/ And instructions to take part: https://stragu.codeberg.page/posts/2026-05-20_barrambin-bioblitz/ 6/? #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane #Rstats

In 24 hours, we managed to upload 232 observations. One week later, we've added 45 species to the list. There are now 348 taxa recorded at #Barrambin : https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/barrambin-victoria-park But there's lots more to explore and record, so if you're a local, please have a wander and contribute your snaps to the database! Every #iNaturalist observation that falls in that area makes it into the list automatically. A stadium doesn't belong here. 7/? #biodiversity #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane

URGENT, locals of #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin I just saw there's police trying to remove the First Nations camps at #Barrambin right now. Join them if you can. Follow updates here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Save-Vic-Park-Barrambin-Action-Hub/61567601505958/ 9/?

Happy #olympicGames everyone. It's 2026 and we're still kicking First Nations people off their land. History repeating to build a stadium we don't need. For a two-week event in 2032. Fuck the Olympic Games, fuck Queensland Police, fuck the Queensland Government, fuck BCC and fuck GIICA. 13/? #racism #colonialism #australia #meanjin #magandjin #brisbane #bne #qld #queensland #barrambin
