Really since I was a, a small child, um, going fishing with my dad on summer holidays down at Apollo Bay.

And just from an early age, we'd always be down there having a fish, and I just became fascinated by these amazing creatures out in the water.

Pat HeerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That it's, um, as a great segue into you talking about, um, from the original, that Lake Pedder into like your, uh, the Franklin, can you talk a little bit about that, that, um, how your involvement with that campaign, uh, started, um, and how your involvement with the Wilderness Society started, um, yeah, way back when.
