Hotels-live.com/pages/sejours-pas-chers - The serpentine lines of the Gordon River and the distinctive landscape of Tasmania's southwest wilderness thanks to @peterhendriephoto. The 172-kilometre Gordon River is arguably one of Tassie's most iconic rivers. It weaves a path from its source near Lake King William in the central highlands, through the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and the Southwest National Park, to its mouth at the south-eastern end of Macquarie Harbour. The river's power was harnessed in the 1970s with the construction of the Gordon Dam - part of the Tasmanian Hydro-Electric Power Scheme. Most famously, the resulting battle to save the Franklin River from similar infrastructure led to the demise of a federal government and the formation of a major political party. It's a stunning image - thanks for tagging #discovertasmania, Peter. #seeaustralia #tasmania #gordonriver #tasmaniaparks #southwestnp #tasmaniasnorthwest #westernwilderness #worldheritagewilderness Hotels-live.com via https://www.instagram.com/p/BErYe6gHMGE/
