A rally organised by Friends of the Earth drew hundreds of farming families and environmentalists to Queensland Parliament. They called for Premier Anna Bligh to come outside to hear their concerns about coal mining and extractive gas industries.
When Ms Bligh did not appear, some of the protesters were stopped from entering the building by police standing shoulder to shoulder at the gate.
But attention turned to the roof when two protesters appeared and worked for about several minutes to unfurl a large banner.
A cheer went up when the slogan "Don't undermine our farms" was revealed.
