Summary
In this book, the author " recounts the stirring tale of the small town campaign by Dalgety and Orbost to restore water to the legendary river - a lopsided battle waged against powerful commercial interests and governments that did not want to know. Farmers, city dwellers, bureaucrats and politicians were caught up in the dramatic events that captures the imagination of the Australian people and climaxed with a government fighting for its life, and a historic political deal." - back cover
