0400 BST - NICK BRYANT, SYDNEY

Live Earth was ushered in with the jolting sound of Australia's scorched red centre - the howl of a didgeridoo in a traditional Aboriginal welcome.

Then, in front of a sparse and still-gathering crowd, the band Blue King Brown took the stage, with black T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "Say No to Nuclear Energy".

It's a contentious issue here, where the Howard government is looking into building nuclear power stations to meet the country's demand for energy.
