Franklin River Rafting

Picture
The Franklin River is one of the last truly wild rivers on Earth; a complex system of breathtaking scenery, powerful energy and moments of utter tranquillity, threading its way through Tasmania’s unique World Heritage Area. There are few environments in the world as ancient, untouched or majestic as the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.

Franklin River Rafting is a company that specialises in unique, uninterrupted 10-day white water rafting tours that challenge and reward our guests as we explore the river and its pristine ecosystem. Owned and operated by the guides that will be taking you down the river, Elias and Franzi will provide an unparalleled experience based on their intimate knowledge and love of the Franklin River. Join us on a personalised journey-of- a-lifetime down one of the most beautiful, inspiring and isolated rivers in the world.

Aboriginal Tasmanians

Welcome to Country

The South East Aboriginal Corporation preserves the heritage of Tasmania's traditional custodians.
Contact Setac on 6297 ????.
This is the Country  of the Melukerdee band of the Palawa people. These are Aboriginal Tasmanians, the traditional and continuing custodians of this Country. They have taken care of this land for at least 37, 000 years, many people say much longer. The responsibility to conserve and protect Country’s natural values is now one which is shared with all the people who call it a home or have other meaningful connection.

Palawa is a name many Aboriginal Tasmanians now use to refer to themselves, just as some Aboriginal Victorians call themselves “Kooris”. It is a name used widely by Aboriginal groups in Tasmania at the time of the British invasion.   Tasmanian Dreaming stories tell that Palawa was the first human.  Using Palawa as a name helps Aboriginal Tasmanians to maintain an enduring link with their cultural heritage and helps maintain an identity clearly distinct from that of other Tasmanians.

Truwana  is a Palawa word used to refer to the island of Tasmania and ‘Country’.  In recognition of Aboriginal Land Rights, Cape Barren Island, off the north east coast, was returned to Aboriginal ‘ownership’ in 2005 and renamed Truwana.

It is important to recognize that in Aboriginal philosophy people do not, nor cannot ‘own’ Country. Instead, Country owns us. The Palawa people see their role as custodians and caretakers of this Country: Truwana.
