The Franklin River
This piece of art represents the 1300 protestors that were arrested while protesting the damming of the Franklin River proposed in 1978. It was really the first world wide protest to take place as people became aware of how important it is to keep pristine rivers the way they are. This area had already been given World Heritage status and yet they still wanted to dam the river. It was a huge fight and they won!
Huge eucalyptus trees. They grow very straight when they have lots of rain.
This seven day trek is very popular. It’s very cold and wet here so you really need to be prepared. Lake St. Clair is the deepest fresh water lake in Australia.
