Alby’s Coorong – Sir David Attenborough style

Alby takes the opportunity to share with us the remarkable features that make the Coorong what it is… one of the top bird-watching locations and the world. A sacred Aboriginal land and a haven for migratory pelicans that have been breeding there since before recorded history. To Alby this is eternal beauty and a place he has made his own.

EP 58 Journey to Pigeon Island

Alby is captivated by the extraordinary story of Diana, a woman in her 80s who has carved out her life on one of the world’s most remote and isolated islands. Determined to reach her, he first endures a two-hour flight before embarking on a gruelling two-day voyage in a fragile outrigger canoe, battling his way across the vast and unforgiving sea.

EP 46 OUTBACK TO WINININIE

Alby and his girlfriend Jo navigate the mighty Murray River, its waters leading to a vast outback sheep station. There, they are swept into the grit of a traditional sheep muster, watching shearers battle through exhausting work. Alby captures striking images of rare birdlife before the journey turns perilous — he struggles to free a massive cow, thrashing in panic, trapped in the mud. (Australia) (02:16)

The Kalahari Desert — vast, scorched, and unforgiving — is home to the Bushmen, one of the most ancient peoples on Earth. For Alby, the quest to find them is irresistible. Yet this wilderness holds another secret. Where survival is rare, desert elephants endure — immense, resilient nomads hardened by heat and scarcity, roaming a land where time stands still.
