"Rivers, large and small, and all of their tributaries, are often referred to as the circulatory system of the planet. This is no mere metaphor, as we have seen what happens when too much or too little water damages entire ecosystems and affects all of the species that depend on them for life and livelihood. If water is the lifebloodof the planet, then certainly its stewards constitute the immune system of its liquid pathways. 'River Journeys' features insightful and inspiring interviews with Australian and International people from all walks of life who have one thing in common: the love for their land and rivers and a dedication and determination to go the extra mile to repair the damage inflicted upon them. Be captivated by the optimism and enthusiasm that drives these 'River Heroes' who are working for the re-establishment of natural processes in our ecosystems, for the healthy habitat of wildlife, for the benefit of humankind, and ultimately, for the spirit that is within all things." The book features stunning landscape photography by commissioned photographer Kerry Trapnell who is well-known for this documentary photography in northern Australia, in particular the Cape York Peninsula region. His work has been widely exhibited and is collected by the Cairns Regional Gallery. He is one of few Australian photographers to have been commissioned by the National Geographic Society to make substantial contributions to its publications.
