The seismic testing rig to be used off the coast of Newcastle is now on its way after being held up by Cyclone Iris.
The PMG Pride was due to arrive yesterday to start work today.
More than 100 people gathered for a peaceful protest yesterday, walking from Queens Wharf to Nobbys Beach chanting "Whales Not Gas" and "Save Our Marine Life, No More Rigs".
Environment groups are calling on Federal Resources Minister Matthew Canavan to put a stop to the testing.
