The northern Rivers of NSW has a rich tapestry of State, National and World Heritage National Parks. In the late 70's the region was being heavily logged for building materials.
A group of passionate locals barricaded and chained themselves in protest, fighting for the rights of both mother nature and the traditional custodians of the land.
In an unprecedented court case, victory by the inspirational protesters made this a landmark case for the world wide conservation of natural habitats.
This pressing was found and made in the Whian Whian state park in the Northern Rivers of NSW.
