The Franklin River has a thousand faces and low water levels bring out some of its prettiest features. Even with lower than average water levels, rafting is still a relatively easy way to experience the remote beauty and wilderness of South West Tasmania.
There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or not, and however covered by cares and duties”
― John Muir
