The Western Wilderness

The road took us through the rain forest with opportunities to stop and take short walks. First stop was Nelson Falls, a powerful waterfall after all the rain (that continues to fall).

Then up to a look out over the rainforest and a high level view of the Franklin river cutting through the trees. This river flows into the Gordon river at the point where the proposed dam was to have been.

Finally we were able to walk to the Franklin river and sense its wildness and power. We have the 1982 protestors to thank that we can experience this wilderness.
