“The health of the Clarence River directly impacts the ecology and health of the surrounding beaches along with the places we love to play. Why on earth would we risk it all? Mining anywhere near a precious water source is madness.” — Dan Ross.
When lifelong mates Hayley Talbot and Dan Ross set off on a long-distance paddle from the headwaters of the Clarence River to the surf, they found astonishing landscapes, eccentric locals and epic river time adventures. They also discovered some big bad plans to mine the hills behind their home.
