From the award-winning team behind Kakadu, comes this observational documentary series, Life On The Reef. Filmed over the course of a year, Life On The Reef follows those who live in one of the most extraordinary places on the planet, Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Set against a backdrop of extraordinary marine habitats, ranging from coral reefs to tropical islands, shallow estuaries to deep oceanic waters - Life On The Reef takes the audience above and beneath the waters as nature adapts to the changing seasons throughout the year.Along the 2300km of coastline - an area larger than the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Holland combined - rangers and marine park officers work together with the traditional owners, search and rescue crews, scientists and tourism operators to safeguard the reef and protect the millions of residents, tourists, divers and fishermen who visit each year.Incredible time-lapse and aerial photography embraces the enormity of the marine park, while stunning high-speed cinematography captures the essence of what it means to be wild.Life On The Reef combines the strongest elements of observational documentary story-telling with blue chip natural history, presenting unique, fresh and authentic stories of Australia's greatest natural icon through the actions and adventures of the people who live there.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced by Northern Pictures in association with Screen Australia, Screen Queensland, PBS, Arte France and ABC TV |
