By the end of 1972, Lake Pedder had been fl ooded and the ACF execu- tive thought the issue was dead. Prince Philip’s Tasmanian activists, howev- er, had other ideas. They started cam- paigning for federal intervention to force the state government to reverse the fl ooding. Philip sided with the ac- tivists: in March 1973 he personally pi- loted the Royal jet over Lake Pedder, accompanied by ACF Assistant Di- rector Geoff Mosley and HEC Chair- man Sir Allan Knight.
