A Journey Through NSW's Rainforests and Snowfields
Rainforest and Ravished Snow, or, Before the Bulldozer by Alan E. J. Andrews is a deeply personal exploration of the coastal lands of New South Wales, where the Great Dividing Range meets some of the most stunning landscapes in Australia. Andrews nostalgically recounts his youthful excursions in two distinct environments—the lush rainforests of the Hastings, Manning, and Hunter river catchments, and the remote snowfields of the Snowy Mountains. He reflects on his early ski touring experiences in areas that were once little known, capturing the spirit of adventure and discovery. Through historical insights, personal anecdotes, and a keen eye for conservation, this book offers a rare glimpse into NSW's natural wonders before modern development changed them forever.
