14. Environmental movement

The issue of beautification cut across to the ‘70s with the swelling popular environmental movement. The Club drew attention to the importance for those who travel by car to co-operate more fully in protecting the numerous lakes, rivers and streams from pollution.

13. JOURNEYS AS WE KNOW IT

In July 1965, we acquired full ownership of Tasmanian Motor News , allowing even greater control over messaging. This would later go on to become Journeys in 2011.

15. Rebuilding a bridge

When the Tasman Bridge was struck in January 1975, we were there to assist in reducing the impact on motorists and were among the leading advocates for repairing the bridge as quickly as possible. We also helped communicate and assist with the implementation of alternative transportation.
