    EPISODE 1
    Croc Swarm
    Australia's Northern Territory wetlands are home to one of the largest crocodile species on Earth: saltwater crocs. From November to March, these crocs lay their eggs. Matt Wright and his mates have just three months to collect 20,000 crocodile eggs. It's a job that gives value to the crocs so that locals don't end up killing or culling them. Using commando-like precision, Matt and his egg collecting team – Mick "the Professor" Burns, Craig Moore, and his trusty pilot, Mick Burbidge, descend into the most dangerous of all places in croc territory – the mother croc's nest.

    The Outback is home to thousands of wild horses. Matt Wright puts his mustering skills to the test to save these majestic animals. Unchecked, these Brumbies have become such a pest to the environment and cattle ranchers that mass culling is common. But Matt's got a plan to muster the Brumbies in his chopper, break them in and save them from destruction.
