Above are some pictures of June Orford's, which involved her being hoisted 65 metres up a Eucalyptus Regnans in the Styx Valley in Tasmania.

The platform was manned round the clock by activists from around the world for six months. By the end of that time Greenpeace's brilliant campaign which involved sending 10,000 letters from concerned individuals through their web site to the CEOs of the Japanese companies buying Tasmanian woodchips was successful.

The Japanese companies were so embarrassed by the flood of emails that they prevailed upon the Tasmanian government and Gunns to resolve this domestic issue in order that business could continue.

The Wilderness Society was assisted by Greenpeace in their campaign to save Tasmania's ancient forests.
