The Big Island

The Big Island

Available on Prime Video
S1 E4: The final episode sees us racing down the last 65 million years to the present. In the wake of catastrophe, Australia sets off on a lonely voyage in southern seas. This is a story of calamity and conquest - how a conspiracy of climate, biology and geology shaped the land that human's now call home. Taking the long view back allows us to look more clearly forward as our island home rafts steadily northwards and into the storm clouds of change.
