On a winter's day in 1976, a band of young conservationists gathered at the foot of Tasmania's highlands to create a new organisation, the Tasmanian Wilderness Society. The ensuing battle to save the Franklin River from being dammed for hydroelectricity changed Australian constitutional history and established the new organisation's reputation for determination, grass-roots action and defiance. These qualities were taken to campaigns for wild nature right across Australia after the organisation changed its name to `The Wilderness Society' in 1983. The rewards have been new national parks and World Heritage Areas protecting some of Australia's most beautiful, biodiverse and majestic landscapes, including Kakadu, the Daintree rainforest, East Gippsland, the Kimberley, the Great Australian Bight and, of course, the wilderness of western Tasmania.This book is a celebration of those landscapes and the strenuous efforts made to protect them. Photographs by some of Australia's most celebrated wilderness photographers - including the late Peter Dombrovskis - are interspersed with tales of the vision and audacity exemplified by one of the nation's premier organisations. But the book is also a call to action. With the rapid onset of climate change, our natural environment faces the most serious threat in its history. The Wilderness Society hopes that the images and stories in this book will inspire its readers to help tackle this most important of all challenges faced by Australia today.

Australia is a land of diversity and contains many World Heritage listed wilderness areas of extraordinary beauty. With an increasing awareness of environmental issues, there is an increased desire to explore the wilderness with as little disturbance as possible to the environment. This has led to the development of eco-touring and eco-resorts which range from basic camps to five-star resorts.

Two hundred years ago Australia, the world's smallest continent, was all wilderness. Its people lived in wilderness. They were part of it. Australia was the same as it had been ten thousand years ago when, before the advent of agriculture and industry, the whole world was wilderness and everyone lived in wilderness. Now only a few small patches of this vast Australia remain wild and unchanged. Two thirds or more of the country's original forests have been axed and nearly all of the remaining forests are earmarked for chipboard, paper bags or newspaper stock. All but a couple of Australia's great rivers are dammed, silted or polluted. Cities, farms and factories cover the most fertile areas. The air most people breathe carries car fumes, chemicals and the dust of overgrazed, arid inland plains. So the destiny of Australia's last wild places is in our hands. And it will not be easy. Though we are starting so late, the first step to saving our wild heritage is knowing about it. This book is about wild and wonderful places which typify the diverse natural heritage of our nation. It brings home the extraordinary beauty of some of the country's last wild places -- places which most Australians do not yet know exist. - Foreword.

In a highly biodiverse part of Australia, the Kimberley conveys the excitement of discovering a new species, the resurgence of life in once fire-ravaged places, and the effect of humans on the landscape. This is the Kimberley at its most beautiful, from teeming bird life to elusive desert animals; from cascading waterfalls and tangled vine thickets to wide savannah plains. The book offers world-class photography, information on up-to-date scientific discoveries, and an in-depth understanding of the balance between flora, fauna, land, and sea. Featuring over 200 stunning images in full color, The Kimberley is well-written, accessible, and engaging.
