Friends of Ninney Rise is proud to host the launch of Iain McCalman's latest book, 'John Büsst - Bohemian artist and saviour of reef and rainforest'; a biography of environmental activist John Büsst. 

The event will be celebrated at Ninney Rise, Bingil Bay, the house built by John Büsst which became the base from which the battles were fought to save the Wet Tropics reefs and forests from exploitation during the 1960's. Büsst's efforts signalled the beginning of North Queensland's conservation movement and have inspired an unbroken history of community conservation.
