Underneath a small marquee in the heart of the Bentley anti-coal seam gas protest camp I'm sipping lime cordial with renegade journalist Margo Kingston. It's a dry camp, but the 500-odd people currently in residence on this cool, late April evening have no problem enjoying themselves, to go by the hum of conversation and the hubbub of drums, guitars and didgeridoo emanating from the nearby fires.

Margo is highly animated, cackling and thumping the table for emphasis as she regales us with her adventures in journalism - and her plans for the future.
