This three part documentary series is the first in-depth exploration about one of the globe’s least-known marvels. WA’s Ningaloo region is comprised of three entwined ecosystems: Ningaloo Reef, Cape Range and Exmouth Gulf. A region that has supported humans for over 40,000 years, Ningaloo is a wonderland of biodiversity and a refuge for many species endangered or extinct elsewhere. In the company of Traditional Owners, scientists, experts and friends, author Tim Winton explores Ningaloo’s origins and the mighty forces that shape it; delves into the remarkable links between its ecosystems and species; traces the human relationships and migratory pathways that sustain it; and offers insights into the challenges ahead.
