Flowers and Fire - Outback Adventures in Western Australia

Western Australia is rough, red and incredibly huge.

In one of the oldest landscapes on earth, exposed to the surface since billions of years, we search with a team of astrobiologists on life's origin, get stuck with them in the mud, and dive into the tough work on a remote cattle station that is mainly done by young women. On an area as big as mainland Denmark they muster cattle every year with horses, choppers and trial-bikes. We also see how crocs can be taught to eat toxic toads. Bushfire is a disaster in a terrain full of oil-drenched eucalyptus and quick-burning spinifex grass, so we accompany special-trained firefighters in their war against bushfires. But we also learn how the indigenous elders teach their families to prevent bushburn from the beginning by making fire in the right way.
