About DownunderCountrygirl
I am someone who cares deeply for our community... particularly the disadvantaged, the elderly, and those living with disabilities.I know first-hand the impact of transport inequality, having personally navigated the barriers and isolation that our current infrastructure system creates for residents in these regions.I'm a passionate independent advocate for achieving real change for country train travel and regional growth in the New England - Northern Tablelands areas.My vision is for the reopening of the historic Great Northern Railway line from Armidale north to Wallangarra and also right through to Toowoomba, utilizing the Southern line in Queensland and then to Brisbane.Our campaign represents the voices of over 10,740 residents across the New England - Northern Tablelands regions. A petition was formally presented to the New South Wales Parliament on behalf of Trains North, Northern Rail Defenders, and Save the Great Northern Rail on 23rd November 2023. The petition was started by the community advocacy group TrainsNorth for the protection and revitalization of this vital infrastructure.
The Power of Our Collective Voice
"You’re the Voice" started as a call to action. Born in 1985 from a desire to turn passive observation into personal agency, the songwriters wanted to emphasize a simple, powerful truth... We don't have to sit in silence. We don't have to live in fear of change, and we don't have to accept things the way they are if they aren't working for us.John Farnham’s iconic performance didn't just top the charts... it became a rallying cry for anyone who believes that if we stand together, we can be powerful!That same spirit is what drives our campaign today. By standing together and letting the political powers hear our united voice, we can turn the page on transport inequality in our region.We have a clear and achievable goal... To reopen the historic Great Northern Railway line from Armidale to the Queensland border at Wallangarra, connecting through to the Southern line in Queensland and all the way to Brisbane.The New South Wales state election is in March 2027. We have the perfect opportunity to make our voices heard and influence the political landscape. Let’s make a noise, make it clear, and ensure our communities are no longer left behind.Are you ready to join the chorus?
