This book tells the story of Terania Creek - the world's first
direct action blockade in defence of a forest, occurring in
Australia in 1979. Contrary to claims that the Australian
counterculture was a mere imitation of overseas models, the
Australian movement, coalescing with a home-grown environment
movement, came of age at Terania Creek. After five years of
'polite' campaigning failed to stop the logging of ancient
Gondwanan rainforest, an organic and spontaneous blockade erupted
that would see the forging of a number of ingenious blockading
techniques and strategies. The activist repertoire developed at
Terania Creek has since echoed across the country, and across the
Earth. This book draws on extensive oral history interviews as well
as photographs taken of the protest in 1979; such rich source
material brings the story to life. Terania Creek and the Forging of
Modern Environmental Activism will therefore appeal to both a
scholarly audience as well as activists, practitioners, and
counterculturalists.
