Had a great time in Tasmania. Gave a talk on ‘Sustainability and Protest’, focusing on Ben and friends’ direct action campaign to stop the logging in the threatened forests, including living on tiny platforms 60 metres up in the trees. (Documented in my book ‘Darwin’s Dilemma: the damage done and the battle for the forests’) Saw Bob Brown and Paul on the Monday night. Bob said ‘they saved 120,000 hectares!’ I organised a group of 12 us to walk in the beautiful, wonderful, threatened Tarkine.
