Franklin River Wilderness

Franklin River Wilderness

The Franklin – Gordon Wild Rivers National Park lies in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It is a region of dramatic mountain peaks, beautiful rainforest, deep river valleys and spectacular gorges. The park is famous for the wild and pristine rivers that twist their way through the wilderness. The Franklin River itself has become synonymous with Australia’s largest conservation battle – the battle to save the Franklin from a proposed hydro-electric power scheme which would have flooded the river.

Franklin River Wilderness belongs to the following groups:

As Is, Australian Bush and Rainforest Photography, Australian Landmarks and Icons, Forests, Green!, Landscape Photography and National Parks of the World
