"The day will come when our children will undo what we so foolishly have done."
Edward St John QC MP 1974.
The campaign to restore Lake Pedder in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
Lake Pedder – situated in south-west Tasmania, Australia – was the jewel in the wilderness, a magnificent, untouched natural formation that instilled wonder in all who had the good fortune to experience this spiritual place.
The flooding of Lake Pedder in 1972 for a relatively minor hydro-electric scheme created an international environmental furore.
Tasmania's government and energy authorities cling to the age of large engineering works. However there are renewed calls for the waters to be drained and Lake Pedder restored to its natural splendor.
The restoration campaign is led by the Lake Pedder Restoration Committee (LPRC) and the case for restoration is documented in a summary prepared by the committee.
