Clip description

A poetic sequence of water and rocks along the middle Franklin River, with Bob Brown in voice-over philosophising about nature and life.

Curator’s notes

A charming, evocative sequence, effectively combining visuals, voice-over and music to evoke the narrator’s response to the beauty of the river.
