The Upper Florentine Hippy camp. The longest standing protest camp in Australia (I was told). These guys are trying to prevent logging in the National Forest and have built their camp right over the logging road. Police have tried to dismantle the camp several times, but have now given up. These guys climb up into the Mountain Ash (up to 100m!) and do sit-ins.
The entrance is built over the logging road.
It is pretty grotty. We met a really sweet mother of four kids (all under 5) who was barefoot and totally out of it. Doesn't say too much for the situation.
