Description

Princess Range 1:50,000 Topographic Map

The Princess Range lies parallel to the lower Franklin River in Tasmania’s rugged Franklin – Gordon Wild Rivers National Park which is in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

This ancient land of deep gorges, ancient forests, caves and rivers was nearly flooded by hydro-electric scheme in the 1980s but was saved by a High Court decision. The Franklin River is now a mecca for rafters.
