Protestors Falls Section - Nightcap National Park, New South Wales, Australia
The Birthplace of Forest Activism!
In August 1979 a contingent of 100 police arrived in Terania Creek to ensure a bulldozer could resume work on reopening a logging track to be used by sawmillers. However, courageous people stood firm in a protest that lasted for over a month, compelled to save a part of the largest single area of subtropical rainforest in Australia, the Big Scrub. In 1979 only 2% of the big scrub remained. Terania Creek was the first time direct action tactics were used anywhere in the world in the defence of a forest. The image of somebody defying a bull dozer is somewhat cliche these days but in 1979 it was a bold new idea. The scientific debate that ensued had a profound impact on rain forest policy throughout Australia. Terania Creek was finally protected, becoming part of Nightcap National Park, and its spectacular waterfall was consequently named in honour of the protestors. The fact that average people could protect rainforests rapidly spread hope and activism worldwide. Discover why Terania Creek is so special in a virtual walkabout that takes you to stand at the base of Protestors Falls - an aboriginal mens' sacred place and refuge for one of the rarest frogs in Australia, the endangered Fleay's barred frog.

Minyon Falls, Nightcap National Park - NSW - Australia
The Minyon Falls is a plunge waterfall on the Repentance Creek in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. The waterfall descends more than 100 meters (330 ft) over the huge rhyolite cliffs which were once part of the Tweed Volcano. The water flow eroded the underlying basalt away to create the waterfall.

Mebbin National Park Northern NSW Australia - Inside and Outside.wmv
Mebbin National Park, between Nimbin and Murwillumbah in the Northern Rivers region of NSW Australia, has much to offer the visitor, both inside and just outside its boundaries.
See a rustic old cottage on the way in. See the giant, falling, fig roots and wrap-around trees on the prehistoric walk from the campsite. Overnight camping is permissible. Wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a camper trailler though.
Goannas are plentiful but don't seem to intrude. The gravel road in and out is quite accessible by most cars, particularly in 4x4 vehicles.

Rarity of some rainforest trees in the Nightcap Ranges, Northern New South Wales
By Matthew Keighery
The National Herbarium NSW of the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust in Sydney has been doing interesting scientific research into rainforest tree distribution and rarity in Northern NSW. They have found links between rarity and the relatively recent local extinctions of large fauna such as the Cassowary. This video features scientists Dr Maurizio Rossetto and Dr Robert Kooyman. As well, it features the recently discovered and extremely rare tree Eidothea hardeniana as well as trees from the Gondwanan family Elaeocarpaceae.
