Outback Adventures In Western Australia on SBS and SBS on Demand – Western Australia is rough, red and incredibly huge.
In one of the oldest landscapes on earth, exposed to the surface for billions of years, we search with a team of astrobiologists on life’s origin, get stuck with them in the mud, and dive into the tough work on a remote cattle station that is mainly done by young women. On an area as big as mainland Denmark they muster cattle every year with horses, choppers and trial-bikes.
Then, we see how bushfire is a disaster in a terrain full of oil-drenched eucalyptus and quick-burning spinifex grass, and accompany special-trained firefighters in their war against bushfires. We also learn how the Indigenous elders teach their families to prevent bushburn from the beginning by making fire in the right way.
