Description
A unique look at the wildlife, people, history and challenges of life on islands Down Under.
In this 3-part ITV series, popular actor and presenter Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) is off to Australia, however this time he’s eschewing the traditional hot spots in favour of some of the countries most remote, diverse and interesting islands. And he’s got more than 8,000 to choose from! Martin travels to the four points of the compass and visits sixteen islands to provide a cross-section of what island life is all about.
‘I’ve always been fascinated by islands, each one a microcosm that tells us something different about our world. And Australia’s islands have it all: exotic creatures, spectacular marine life, and of course the different people who inhabit them. Whether they’re relative newcomers or they’ve lived there for generations, these are the resourceful, extraordinary people who call these islands home. This is my voyage around the adventure playgrounds, the best-kept secrets and the astonishing surprises of the Islands of Australia.’ – Martin Clunes
