UpRiver – Untold Stories of the Franklin River Activists | Alice Hungerford | 2013 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

An oral history of the Franklin River campaign, told through interviews with the people who took part in the blockade and the broader fight to stop the damming of the Franklin River.

Where Wild Rivers captured the campaign through Peter Dombrovskis's photographs and Bob Brown's words, UpRiver tells the story from a different angle — the voices of the ordinary people who travelled to South West Tasmania, joined the blockade, and were arrested for it. Many of those involved had never taken part in activism before and went on to be shaped by the experience for the rest of their lives.

At 302 pages and illustrated throughout, this is a personal and human account of a campaign that changed the course of Tasmanian and Australian environmental history — told by the people who were actually there, rather than as a retrospective political or historical analysis.
