Australia: The Wild Continent

2024 · 37 min · Documentary

Australia: The Wild Continent carries its audience through the wildest and most beautiful landscapes in Australia in search of the hidden stories that make this continent unique. Discover flora and fauna that has evolved in splendid isolation, explore ancient landscapes sculpted by great geological forces, and learn what it means to care for Country from traditional custodians of the land. Circumnavigating the continent, we travel from the limestone cliffs of the Nullarbor to the steamy tropical wetlands of the Northern Territory via the stunning Kimberley coast and Australia’s expanse of red deserts. Along the way we meet giant humpback whales, get up close and personal with baby wetland birds, and fly with wedge-tailed eagles. Each destination has its own unique story of formation and biological significance unlike any other place on earth.

Follow a three-month-old baby whale on a magical journey down one of the Earth’s great ocean highways to discover the incredible world of ocean currents. She will never know it, but as she swims with the flow of the current, her story becomes inexorably connected to our own. Ocean currents are hidden marine rivers that flow around the Earth. They are responsible for the fish we eat, the rain that feeds our crops, the snow that covers our mountains - even the air we breathe, and they have been helping to keep the temperature of our planet just right for life for millions of years. As our young whale goes with the flow of the current on a great migration from the warm tropics to the frozen ice floes of Antarctica, she meets the curious creatures that call the current home.
