	Franklin Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The photograph Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend, Franklin River, by Peter Dombrovskis, was used by the Tasmanian Wilderness Society in advertising.
		The Franklin Dam or Gordon-below-Franklin Dam project was an attempt to dam the Gordon River in Tasmania, Australia, for the purposes of hydroelectricity.
		The Hydro was still able to construct a 'compromise' power development scheme on the nearby King River and Henty River to compensate for the loss of the potential power generation from the Franklin scheme.

		In the moment - the white waves, the water tongues, plumes, the river noise, the silent panic - I leap across the inflatable raft.
		It is called Rock Island Bend, and it is endowed with immortality because of a photograph by the late Peter Dombrovskis that was used in March 1983 to sway the result of a federal election.
		Much of the first day is on a headwater tributary of the Franklin, the Collingwood River, into which we dragged the rafts under the bridge on the Lyell Highway.

	[No title]
		On the Gulf side of these islands you may observe that the trees--when there are any trees--all bend away from the sea; and, even of bright, hot days when the wind sleeps, there is something grotesquely pathetic in their look of agonized terror.
		The gray morning of the 9th wanly lighted a surf that appalled the best swimmers: the sea was one wild agony of foam, the gale was rending off the heads of the waves and veiling the horizon with a fog of salt spray.
		The visitors were, for the most part, country gentlemen,--residents of Franklin and neighboring towns, or planters from the Teche country,--forming one of the numerous expeditions organized for the purpose of finding the bodies of relatives or friends lost in the great hurricane, and of punishing the robbers of the dead.

	Film Australia - Wilderness
		Rock Island Bend, Franklin River, South West Tasmania became the icon of the campaign and must now be regarded as one of the most famous, and most reproduced, photographs in Australian history.
		His ancient trees clinging to their rocky island are the exact equivalent of all those monasteries and fortifications perched on cliffs above similar river bends in more settled places on the other side of the world.
		The fiery sunsets, the jagged peaks, the giant rocks and gnarled trunks, the gathering storms and crashing waves, all find their more intimate counterpoint in the unfurling frond, the frosted branch glowing in the morning sun, and the rhythmic pattern of water on sand.

	Antelope refuge opens eyes to natural beauty, rock art - The Washington Times: Travel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the refuge in 1936 as a protected breeding ground for the pronghorn antelope, a deer-size animal with bold fl-and-white markings and elegant, heart-shaped horns.
		The refuge covers an area roughly one-third the size of Rhode Island and sprawls across a massive tabletop of rock that rises abruptly from a flat plain dotted with alkaline lakes, hayfields and cattle pastures.
		Mist glints in the midday heat, and flickering butterflies, attracted to the moist cliff walls, dart among the brilliant yellow wildflowers that cascade down the rock in their own imitation waterfall.

	The Conqueror, by Gertrude Franklin Atherton : Arthur's Classic Novels
		The Danish Government, upon obtaining possession of this fertile island, in 1733, immediately issued an invitation to the planters of the Leeward Caribbees to immigrate, tempting many who were dissatisfied with the British Government or wished for larger estates than they could acquire on their own populous islands.
		It had seemed to him that the Island opened and a witch came out, and in those confused hours he hardly knew whether she were good or bad, his ideal woman or his ideal devil; but he loved her.
		Down in the river where they pounded the clothes on the stones, they vowed they would carry the next linen to the sulphur springs, for the very marrow in their bones was cold.

	The Mysterious Island, by Verne : Arthur's Classic Novels
		It was he who, after the affair of the Black River, determined at any cost to keep his place at the wicket of the telegraph office, and after having announced to his journal the result of the battle, telegraphed for two hours the first chapters of the Bible.
		The stream here made a bend towards the south, but this detour was probably not prolonged for the river must have its source in the mountain, and be supplied by the melting of the snow which covered the sides of the central cone.
		Between the river's mouth and the end of the cliff, eddies of wind whirled and gusts from this maelstrom lashed the water which ran through the narrow valley.

		The rivers were left to run free to the sea." While the same can’t be said for the area’s convicts, I was here to celebrate the Franklin’s freedom and this important conservation milestone.
		The Franklin was their backyard run; they knew its lines and, more importantly, its rain-fed mood swings.
		A mist shrouded the mountains, painting the water, rocks and clouds the same shade of gray.

		Island in the Sky section of the park sits atop of a massive 1500 foot mesa, quite literally an Island in the Sky.
		Soon after departure we passed the island that the dam protestors had occupied at the height of the struggle, which was astounding for its complete lack of suitability for camping.
		Regardless of what we took from the river, we are comforted by the knowledge that is still there, running tea coloured and madly into the future, to be appreciated by many long after we are gone.

	Shooting the Franklin River
		Flowing south, between the Eldon Range to the east and the Tyndalls to the west, the Eldon River is joined by the South Eldon to form the King.
		Once on the river we would have to cover 60miles (100 km) and, more significantly, descend 1000 feet (300m).
		This time we were lucky in getting away with a water-filled kayak, but before we could get ashore to empty it we were swept into the next rapid, hit rocks and broke several of the five-foot (1.5m) lengths of dowelling.

		One morning I missed her from her bed beside the stove, and an Indian told me he'd seen her dragging herself up through the woods in the snow.
		In the afternoon the hills came closer to the river, and on the left bank appeared a cluster of little white shacks with the red flag of the Hudson's Bay flying from a post.
		The river was split into a dozen channels, and the Hares kept the boat adroitly in deep water, for there was never a moment when it grounded.

	The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
		On the morning of the 18th there was every symptom of a storm, and soon the tempest broke forth, making it necessary for Forster to defer his departure, as it was impossible to risk the balloon and those whom it would carry, to the fury of the elements.
		It was not possible at present to say whether this land was an island or part of a continent; but the sight of the broken rocks heaped together on the left would have proved to a geologist their volcanic origin, as they were incontestably the result of igneous action.
		Happily the heap of rocks forming the Chimneys was composed of solid, enormous blocks of granite, though some of them, imperfectly balanced, seemed to tremble upon their foundations.

		The School of Rock is a deliciously sweet nothing, just what I needed and wanted to see after a monstrous day’s work (I wrote a Wall Street Journal review from scratch in the morning, then interviewed Regina Carter in the afternoon for a New York Times profile).
		Incidentally, I went to see The School of Rock with one of my cool young musician friends, a singer with fluorescent hair who also took it upon herself to enhance my own coolness quotient by making me listen to selections from Radiohead’s Kid A and Coldplay’s Parachutes before we went to the theater.
