NSW: Greens worry cyanide bound for mine could spill

The Greens want emergency services boosted along a route where cyanide will be transported
to a new gold mine in central western New South Wales.

The State government has revealed the route the cyanide will take to Lake Cowal ..

near West Wyalong.

It will be railed from Gladstone in Queensland to Chullora in Sydney .. then trucked
to Camellia .. and taken by rail from there to Dubbo before being trucked to the mine.

Greens MP LEE RHIANNON says six-thousand tonnes of cyanide are to travel on that route
every year.

She says emergency services along the route need to be prepared for a possible spill.
