5.0 out of 5 stars
Truchanas, Tasmanian wilderness photographs & campaigner, September 1, 1997
This review is from: The World of Olegas Truchanas (Hardcover)
NOTE: Author of 'The World of Olegas Truchanas' is Max Angus, NOT Truchanas.
First published 1975 by Max Angus. Copyright by
Melva Truchanas.
Olegas drowned in 1972 at the start of a canoe trip down the Gordon River in Tasmania. He was on an expedition to re-photograph the river, as he had lost many of his slides in a bushfire.
Olegas was famous for his wilderness
photos of Tasmania, particularly of Lake Pedder
and his campaign against the flooding of the lake.
Has full page colour photos of the lake before it was drowned, and also of other scenes in south west Tasmania.
This book documents the loss of 'the jewel of the
south-west', Lake Pedder, and the death of Olegas
and marks the first environmental party, the UTG, in the world, and thus is a very important book in the wilderness movement.
