Back Roads on ABC airs Thursday 20 August at 8.00pm on ABC and streams on ABC iview. Lisa Millar travels to Augusta on the southwestern tip of Australia, where the ocean shapes the stories of the locals.
The episode discovers ancient secrets, a rock and roll granny, and a young pro surfer preparing to make a splash on the international stage.
Back Roads often finds its strongest material in towns where landscape and community are tightly connected, and Augusta gives the series a distinctly Western Australian coastal story.
Surrounded by water, Augusta becomes the starting point for stories about local inspiration, industrial discoveries and the pull of the sea.
