Award-winning journalist Kate Legge joins Heather Ewart to discuss the remarkable story behind the creation of the Cradle Mountain sanctuary in Tasmania.
Kate’s book, Kindred: A Cradle Mountain Love Story, traces the achievements of unconventional adventurers Gustav Weindorfer and Kate Cowle, and their fight to preserve the wilderness where they pioneered eco-tourism. Neither lived to see their vision fully realised: the World Heritage-listed landscape is now visited by 280,000 people each year.
