Steve Posselt kayaks to Canberra via Nambucca Heads.

Steve Posselt, kayak adventurer and ecowarrior, set off from Ballina on New Years Day on the last leg of his Connecting Climate Chaos journey that has taken him around the world. He plans to collect 100,000 signatures for the Climate Emergency Declaration petition.

Steve Posselt will be met at cities and towns on the way, including Nambucca Heads. At Nambucca Heads, Justin Field and Jeremy Buckingham, Greens MLCs will paddle out to meet Steve. Steve plans to arrive at 5.30 PM, January 9, at the Wharf St Café, weather permitting. 

It is hoped many Nambucca Valley and Bellingen Valley residents will gather to greet Steve, hear his climate emergency message, and sign the Climate Emergency Declaration petition. He will depart for South West Rocks before sunrise on January 10.

His journey is 1200km down the coast to Moruya and then 180km dragging the kayak up the mountains to Canberra.

Posselt said that paddling into New York past the Statue of Liberty, paddling past Big Ben in London, and paddling to the steps at the Eiffel Tower in Paris were the emotional highs on his journey but that nothing beats paddling in his own country.

The petition Posselt will deliver to Canberra asks Parliament to declare a climate emergency and mobilise resources to restore a safe climate. It can be signed at http://climateemergencydeclaration.org/sign.

Steve's wheeled kayak odyssey started on 15 Jan 2015 in Canberra with the aim of publicising the urgent need to act against dangerous climate change and to connect extreme weather event areas to this need. Steve's epic journey then continued to the Sydney Opera House on 31 Jan 2015, Gulf of Mexico 1 March, New Orleans, up the Mississippi in flood, 22 April across to USA East Coast,  New York in June, across the UK, through London, English Channel and then up the Seine to Paris arriving 15 Oct 2015 for the COP 21 Paris Climate Conference. 

The last leg of his journey from Ballina on January 1 to Sydney and Canberra, includes publicity for the need for at least 100,000 people to sign the Climate Emergency Declaration Petition, which he will present to the Australian Government.
