The Martuwarra or Fitzroy River in the Kimberely, WA, is one of the last pristine rivers on Earth, but farming magnates are seeking to open up this unique ecosystem to irrigation and undermine decades of community action to protect this river system.

Guests:

Martin Pritchard, Director of Environs Kimberley

Monique Barker, Campaign Coordinator of Kimberley - Like Nowhere Else
