Ray explores the geography, flora and fauna of six spectacular Australian landscapes: the calm waters of the Great Barrier Reef, the teeming billabongs of the Wetlands, the Eucalyptus forests of the Bush, the ancient heartland of the Rainforest, the dramatic shoreline of the Southern Coast and the scarlet sands of the red desert. In each episode Ray explores the dramatic physical geography of the region, and its extreme weather conditions. He tracks down and identifies the key wildlife species that live there and discovers how they have adapted to the conditions. He introduces us to rare and extraordinary creatures like the tree kangaroo, the prehistoric giant Cassowary bird, the comical and bizarre duck billed platypus and the stranger still weedy sea dragon.
