Showcases places of ecological significance and natural beauty, including the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park, with its extreme wet and harsh dry seasons; Australia's distinctive Red Centre; the pristine southern island of Tasmania; the Australian Alps, the country's highest mountain range; and the ancient Daintree rainforests that sit alongside the largest living structure visible from space, the Great Barrier Reef.
Australia might be world famous for its outback and red deserts, but there are also lush alpine regions that are just as unique and breathtaking and play a central role to the animals living along the east coast.
A year in the life of Kakadu in Australia's Top End. Aaron Pedersen explains the six seasons recognised by the Bininj people and reveals the web of relationships between its species and the environment.
The magnificent rock that is Uluru is an icon of Australia - remote, untamed, and mysterious. However, as Aaron Pedersen explains, the Red Centre with its arid deserts hold much more than meets the eye.
The Daintree Rainforest has one of the highest rates of biodiversity on Earth. Aaron Pedersen explains how this oldest rainforest on Earth is a window into an Australia that has otherwise vanished.
Extending over 2000km, the Great Barrier Reef is a complex system. Aaron Pedersen explains that its beauty is just one of many amazing features that makes this natural wonder so important.
Tasmania is a world lost in time, an isolated pocket of Gondwana-era forests and Jurassic mountains sheltering animals that live nowhere else on the planet. Even in its isolation, the island is under threat.
