Narrated by Luke Hemsworth, 'The Great Kimberley Wilderness' is a 35-minute virtual reality documentary that transports you to one of the most spectacular and pristine landscapes in the world.
Guided by science and Traditional Owners, you will journey across magical coastlines, and venture into the heart of this ancient landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Fly over the edge of the thundering King George Falls, explore the vibrantly striped domes and majestic gorges of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park and travel back over 350 million years to the great Devonian Reef to explore ancient geology, that has been pivotal to life as we know it.
Almost two billion years in the making, get ready to experience the wonders, culture, and magic of this unique and precious landscape, like never before!
The producers wish to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the various lands on which this documentary has been filmed and recognise their continued connection to their country.
