Once at Yuendumu the group was taken on the inaugural 'Intervention Tour' by Frank Baarda, the owner of Yuendumu Mining, one of the stores in the community. In this video Frank shows the group the Nest, the Government Business Managers compound, and takes the group in convoy out to the $200 000 fence that has built around the rubbish dump, a rubbish dump 5 km from Yuendumu.

On the 1st of October 29 activists visited the community of Yuendumu, 290 km NW of Mpartnwe-Alice Springs, for a listening tour as part of the convergence on Mparntwe-Alice Springs to stop the Intervention. Once at Yuendumu the group was taken on the inaugural 'Intervention Tour' by Frank Baarda, the owner of Yuendumu Mining, one of the stores in the community. In this video Frank shows the group the Nest, the Governments Business Managers compound and takes the group out to the $200 000 fence that has built around the rubbish dump, a rubbish dump 5 km from Yuendumu.

Frank also tells us the story of how the nest was named and gives us a description and run down of the mens shelter that has been built in town.
