"The Kimberley’s winding ochre gorges, coral sunsets and celadon
crocodile-filled rivers feature in a new
ABC documentary series about one of
Earth’s last great tropical wetlands.
Filmed on cinema-grade cameras in the remote and vast north-west Australian
region,
The Kimberley captures an intimate portrait of its ancient landscape
and offers ecological and cultural insight across three episodes.
The series follows the six seasons in the Nyikina calendar. The Nyikina people
are the traditional custodians of the Martuwarra, also known as the Fitzroy
River, the Kimberley’s largest river system.
Actor and Nyikina man Mark Coles Smith, the series’ narrator and host,
describes himself as deeply connected to the land, his mother’s country.
He introduces the Martuwarra as a “literal ancestral entity” that has sustained
the cultural, spiritual and physical life of First Nations people in the area
for tens of thousands of years."
