## Resource

In 1976, two eco-activists blew up a port in Bunbury, Australia, to protest old-growth logging—aiming to shut down woodchip operations, not harm people. Their plan backfired when they tied up a night watchman who begged them to move his car; he escaped and called police. One bomb detonated, others didn’t. The premier labeled it terrorism, sparking national headlines. After a week-long manhunt, the men were jailed for seven years, with parole eligibility later extended. Though their actions drew attention to environmental destruction, they alienated the public and fractured their movement. Decades later, one bomber reflects: risky, costly, and controversial—but necessary, and he’s at peace with his choices.
