Coast Australia is back! Historian and archaeologist Neil Oliver has returned to visit eight more spectacular coastlines around this vast and dramatic land. Joined by palaeontologist and explorer Professor Tim Flannery, marine ecologist Professor Emma Johnston, landscape architect Brendan Moar, anthropologist Dr Xanthe Mallett, and historian Dr Alice Garner, Neil and the team set out to capture the dazzling diversity around the edge of a young nation built on an ancient land.
