Program 2 Seas Under Capricorn - The story of the seas that encircle Australia with a unique chain of marine environments from icy Antarctica to the marvels of the Great Barrier Reef.

Program 5 Land of Flood and Fire - Where life is governed by monsoonal flood and drought. The first people on the continent arrived here, and used fire to farm and manage the land.
