Lisa Yeates was on the water in one of the most iconic scenes from the Franklin River blockade: that moment the boat towing a bulldozer broke through a line of protesters floating on rafts.
But she was also there for the months-long occupation of the river, as one of the most determined and devoted young activists.
In this extended interview, Lisa Yeates takes us through her time living in the upriver camp with producer Piia Wirsu.
