Stopstatoil Festival
Saturday's Stopstatoil Festival at Ahipara's Kohanga/Shipwreck Bay aimed to raise awareness of the oil exploration now underway off Northland's west coast. The line-up of guest speakers and bands included Herbs, the reggae pioneers who first made their name with songs protesting against French nuclear testing in the Pacific. A group from Oil-Free Auckland smeared themselves in fake oil to illustrate the effects of a spill. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
