2001 March: Oxley Creek Brisbane. Multiple pesticides.

March 2001: Oxley Creek tributary, Brisbane – chemicals leaked through storm drains to the creek in runoff following a fire at Barmac Industries at Rocklea. Chemicals included insecticides and herbicides, requiring water to be pumped from the creek by the Queensland EPA, to prevent contaminated water reaching Oxley Creek.

Australia is the stolen lands of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people and sovereignty of these lands was never ceded. We pay respect to Elders, past and present, and acknowledge the pivotal role that Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within the Australian community.
