The Franklin Wild River | 2pm Tues Aug 27
“A wilderness is a place not marked by thehand of modern man. A place that’s free ofhouses and cars, and urbanisation, andindustry and agriculture. And the Franklin isone of those very rare places left on theEarth which fulfils that criterion.” Bob
Brown
In 1980 respected conservationist, future Australian Senator and leader of theGreens, Bob Brown, paddled a rubber dinghy through the spectacular rapids ofTasmania’s mighty Franklin River. Part of a filmed campaign to halt plans toflood the river and bring international awareness to the remarkably untouchednatural habitat, The Franklin Wild River is a thought-provoking meditation onone of Australia’s last great outposts. The Franklin and Gordon rivers were
listed as part of Tasmania’s World Heritage Area in 1982 and became the focusof the largest conservation campaign in Australia’s history. Check out the trailerhere.
