Franklin River in Australia
Beautiful Franklin River was recently highlighted in the National Geographic Traveler October issue. The article “Tours of a Lifetime: 50 of the World’s Best” listed World Expeditions and the Franklin River as a river trip that is a must do. Tourism Minister Paula Wriedt congratulated World Expeditions for being listed as one of the world’s 50 tours of a lifetime.
“World Expeditions, the parent company of Tasmanian Expeditions, has been conducting rafting tours of the Franklin since 1980. That was a full year before it was declared a national park and two years before it gained World Heritage listing,” said Ms Wriedt.
Chris Buykx, operations manager for World Expeditions says that the Franklin is one of the greatest rafting adventures anywhere in the world.
Special interest rafting tours of Tasmania is just one example of sustainable tourism in the area. Visitors and journalists who have rafted the Franklin have experienced the beauty and magnificent river corridor on 9-day wilderness trips.
