Ningaloo Nyinggulu on ABC – Celebrated author Tim Winton takes us to one of the Earth’s last truly wild and intact places. Its First Peoples call this global treasure Nyinggulu. The rest of us know it as Ningaloo.
Located on a remote edge of the world’s largest island, where red desert meets turquoise waters, 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.
Written and narrated by one of Australia’s most beloved novelists, this is the first in-depth documentary series about one of the globe’s least-known marvels.
In this spectacular series, the notoriously reclusive Tim Winton shares his passion for this World Heritage treasure, showcasing its vital role as a beacon of hope for humanity.
In the company of Traditional Owners, scientists, experts and friends, Tim 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.
Episode 1:
“Collisions” explores Ningaloo’s ancient origins and explains the role of the mighty currents, rainfall, wind, and waves still shaping it today.
