Last year the Federal Government bought 135,000 hectares of land at Cape York.
A company (Cape Alumina) has lodged mining lease applications for the site known as the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve, planned as a tribute to Steve Irwin, Wildlife Warrior.
The land, according to Terri, is very important environmentally, encompassing wetlands which "provide a critical water source to threatened habitat".
It even holds special significance for Terri as a connection to Steve's final days before his tragic death.
"He spent some of his final weeks there doing crocodile research," Terri told Sunrise.
As well as this, the land is also home to several rare and vulnerable plants and wildlife
Terri is fighting the application in which company plans to mine 12,300 hectares of the reserve for bauxite.
The NT Government is quoted as saying it believes the mining
can be done sustainably.

Trying to sign petition for the mining at Cape York but cannot find it . I would like to voice my opinion here just in case. How long does the world think it can keep sucking out the insides of the earth before it starts to collapse? Don't all the earthquakes make people think?
I care, do you ?
