A landmark work in Australian environmental history, Lake Pedder stands as a powerful photographic and written testament to one of the nation's greatest ecological losses. The book chronicles the breathtaking beauty of Lake Pedder in Tasmania's wilderness — a pristine glacial lake of extraordinary natural significance — before its tragic flooding in 1972 for a hydroelectric scheme. Featuring the photography of Bob Brown alongside text by Kevin Kiernan, Ralph and Jillian Hope-Johnstone, the work presents a compelling visual and narrative record of a unique landscape and the passionate campaign to save it. More than a conservation document, it argues with quiet urgency for the intrinsic value of wild places, and remains an essential piece of Australian environmental and cultural history.
