SUPER TRAWLERThe second biggest fishing trawler in the world arrived in Australia last week. But with it... came a sea of controversy.

So how do they get there and what damage are they doing to marine animals? We check out a big scientific study where researchers, with the help of some school kids, are tracking the movement of plastic in the Ocean.WOMBAT WEEDSLast week we brought you the story of some kids who were combing the bush trying to get rid of weeds which can be dangerous for native animals. This story is proof of that. We see how some wombats are suffering because of their battle with a particular type of weed.SHOW BUSINESSWe meet the families that travel around Australia putting on shows and carnivals.
