Synopsis
On the edge of Western Australia's Pilbara region lies rugged, windswept Burrup Peninsula, which holds a special interest for Harry Butler. As environmental consultant for the North West Shelf natural gas project, based on the peninsula, Harry's job is to monitor the effect of the development on the peninsula and its wildlife. He explores the region, looking at wildflowers, animals and reptiles, and at their interaction with man.
