View Transcript
A journey through the meandering waterways of Sydney's Hawkesbury River system leads to the wilderness of Lord Howe Island, where Neil Oliver searches for the world's rarest insect before meeting curious seabirds endemic to the island. Brendan Moar cruises the Hawkesbury River on the wartime boat that became a leisure-time icon, and marine ecologist Emma Johnston tattoos a seahorse for science near Nelson Bay.
