Australia’s vast interior is a land shaped by extremes—where punishing drought can give way to flooding rains, transforming dry salt pans and cracked earth into thriving wetlands. In this episode of Australia’s Wild Moments, discover how kangaroos, emus, budgerigars and pelicans have adapted to the continent’s dramatic boom-and-bust cycle. Witness the remarkable renewal of Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre, follow legendary drovers moving thousands of cattle through drought-stricken country, and meet the rescuers helping wildlife caught in devastating floods. But abundance brings challenges of its own. From vast mouse plagues and crop-raiding cockatoos to the complex debate surrounding kangaroo populations, this episode explores the delicate relationship between wildlife, agriculture and the Australian landscape. As climate change makes droughts longer, rainfall less reliable and extreme events more intense, protecting Australia’s extraordinary plants, animals and waterways has never been more important.
