Prams rolled down the streets of Alice Springs today in a peaceful protest against the exploration at the Angela Pamela site 25kms south of town.

More than 50 mothers and their kids gathered on the Alice Springs Town Council before making their way to the various politicians' offices throughout the CBD.

They carried colourful balloons and wore stickers with anti-nuclear messages.

"This is our way of using what we've got to get out on the streets.

Everyone that has young children has a pram and spends a lot of time in town doing jobs.

Maybe they don't feel confident in doing a political protests but this is an easy way to make our presence felt on the streets," says Tanya Howard, Families for a Nuclear Free Future.

"A lot of the women here are long term residents of the town, they've got family connections here and they feel very disturbed about this issue.

Many would consider leaving town if the uranium mine went ahead."

One of Tanya's biggest concerns is suppressing dusts effectively.

"When you start mining or even exploring you release radiation into the atmosphere and I think it's naive to assume a company can meet all the environmental challenges of the desert to make this a safe proposal."

The group plans to create a pram jam once a month.
