Understorey This abridged and remastered edition of Understorey (2016) outlines some of the key themes around the decades long campaign to stop native forest logging on the far south coast of NSW, culminating in the formation of SE Forests National Park. It is one of the largest and longest running conflicts in Australian history. People from all walks of life, including farmers and grandmothers, came together to save their water catchments and the forest homes of some of our most iconic native animals. Tallaganda Features the conservation issues of the endangered greater glider, the academics who work to understand them and the activists seeking to protect their habitat in Tallaganda, Badja and Glenbog State Forests which are still under threat from industrial scale logging. The logging of Australia's south east forests is one of the largest and longest national environmental conflicts. David Gallan Bio David's previous films include Understorey (2016), a key documentary on the campaigns last century for the south east forests, The Ambassador (2020), an award winning short starring the late Wynn Roberts and Koru Lian Timor (2024), a film about a Timorese choir touring Australia.
