Mark Coles Smith Explores the Breathtaking Wonders of The Kimberley in May

Get ready to embark on an incredible journey with award-winning actor Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin) as he explores one of Australia's most remote and majestic landscapes during The Kimberley, premiering on Tuesday 13 May at 8pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.

In the remote North-Western corner of Australia lies a magnificent landscape that defies time. The Kimberley spans over 400,000 square kilometres – three times the size of England – and contains sprawling savannas, towering gorges, rivers, tropical coastlines and desert. The region's rugged terrain provides a last refuge for countless rare mammals, reptiles and birds, including the world's smallest marsupial, and the largest and fiercest reptile.

Guided by Mark, a Nyikina man from the lower Martuwarra (Fitzroy River) area, this three-part series is an adventure into a place like nowhere else on Earth. Following the six distinct seasons on the Nyikina calendar – Lalin, Jirrbal, Willakarra, Koolawa, Barrakana and Willbooroo – we track the quest of the Traditional Owners and passionate ecologists working to protect the region's incredible biodiversity.

With daring camerawork and cutting-edge cinematography techniques, this landmark natural history series captures never-before-seen animal sequences as we share a year in the lives of the unique wildlife that calls The Kimberley home.
