The great Tasmanian story, right now, is the story of the forests. It is a contest for the island's soul and the forests are sites of drama, passion and, yes, pain. Will this wild and special island retain the free agency that entitles it to love and wonder, or is it to be reduced to the mere banality of artifact, no more nor less than every other absurd and broken scrap of the globe? The outcome of this contest is not pre-ordained. It hangs by a thread... Pete Hay. The Weld Angel, as she has become known, sits in a tripod blocking a road into the southern forests of Tasmania.
