Plus: What China can learn from the invasion of Ukraine
| | | | "I remember wind-sculpted, long flutes of pink sandy beach, extending into the warm, dark tannin waters of the lake, where we played and learned to swim."
Rima Truchanas grew up in Tasmania in the 1960s, and has vivid memories of Lake Pedder before it was flooded as part of a hydroelectric scheme.
She also remembers the fierce, years-long battle for the future of the lake – one that helped seed the modern environment movement in Australia.
Now activists say the time has come to drain the waters and restore Lake Pedder to its former glory.
But is this a great opportunity to heal our planet, or simply a "very costly exercise"? Read more in this story from The History Listen.
Plus – this year's election campaign has been a long one, but we're finally at the finish line.
To follow our comprehensive coverage, tune in on the ABC listen app from 6pm on Saturday, where Raf Epstein and Sabra Lane will be joined by Patricia Karvelas to step listeners through all the important take-outs from election night.
(And if you'd rather vote on anything other than Australian politics, make sure you check out this year's Classic 100 – the theme this time is music for the screen.)
Enjoy your weekend,
