Lorella Springs: Past, Present and Future
Rhett Walker of Lorella Springs Wilderness Park shares his family's extraordinary story of survival growing up on the remote Gulf coast: "we didn't have any money so we lived off the land. We lived under a truck tarpaulin in the bush through the wet season and we managed just to survive. And through that process, we learnt to love the land". Rhett and his family manage and protect Lorella Springs - 4,000km2 of land and a 30km stretch of coast. Lorella is bigger than many countries in the world. Rhett has a dream to turn Lorella into a wilderness sanctuary.
