Franklin logo organic tea towel

This powerful symbol of the Franklin blockade protests became the Tasmanian Wilderness Society’s first logo. This iconic image was created by artist Fred Duncan. In 1983, thousands gathered on the Franklin's banks to stop it being dammed and let the rivers flow free. The movement grew, the nation watched, and the river was saved—defining a generation of environmental action in Australia. To mark the Wilderness Society's 50th anniversary, we're releasing this design as part of a limited range of ethical merchandise that celebrates five decades of nature protection. Bring a little proof into your kitchen that people power works and dry your dishes with 50 years of nature wins behind you.
