Australia Remastered - Forces of Nature
1 - Cyclone
Air Date: January 30, 2022
Cyclones burst upon Australia's tropical coast bringing torrential rain and destruction, while ancient rain forests and coral reefs are destroyed. Aaron Pedersen explains how these ecosystems have evolved and adapted.
2 - Drought
Air Date: February 6, 2022
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, and severe droughts grip the nation regularly. Aaron Pedersen explains how over millions of years of evolution, Australian life is uniquely prepared for these challenges.
3 - Fire
Air Date: February 13, 2022
Blazes fuelled by wind, dry bush and weather can consume everything in their path. Aaron Pedersen explains how nowhere on Earth burns with quite the same intensity and ferocity as Australia - or as regularly.
4 - Flood
Air Date: February 20, 2022
Australian droughts are often followed by flood, a rhythm of life that the country has adapted to. While the inland is still subjected to natural floods, elsewhere the flood regimes are changing.
