-I'm Iolo Williams. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
-I've spent years studying wildlife -on land and in the air. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
-This time, -I'm venturing into a new world. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
-I'll be looking for creatures -I've never seen before. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
-I'm travelling to Australia -to dive under the sea... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
-..to see -one of our planet's treasures. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
-This is the Great Barrier Reef. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
-It extends over 1,000 miles -off the coast of northern Australia. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
-But this important part -of our ecosystem... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-..is in danger. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
-It's sad coming here -and seeing this happen. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-It could disappear... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-..in 80 years. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
-Will the children of the future -be able to enjoy this special place? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
-My time on the Great Barrier Reef -is coming to an end. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
-I've travelled from north to south -looking what state it's in. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
-I've been lucky enough -to see animals... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-..I would never have seen otherwise. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
-This is our final night on the boat. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-We're 12 miles off the coast -between Ribbon Reef No.9 and No.10. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-There's a reef -20 metres from the back of the boat. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-It's pitch black. -We're starting later. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Cheers, thank you. -I have a torch so I'll be OK now. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-We're going down for a look. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-We're not sure -what we're going to see. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-We might see sharks. -We won't know until we go down. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-In daylight, it's a nice dive. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-There's a variety of coral and fish. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-At night, who knows? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-The fish you see now... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-..are totally different to the ones -you'd find during the day. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-The landscape is like being -on the surface of the moon. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-Apart from all the fish here. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-There are lots of large fish around. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-Most are trevallies. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-Oh, a shark! Wow! | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
-A reef shark. Can you see it? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-I hoped to see a shark -and here it is. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-This is their habitat... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-..and this is when they hunt. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-They move through the water -so gracefully. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-Some of these sharks -can hunt in their sleep. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-I hope they won't mistake me... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-..for a tasty litte fish. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-In daylight, sharks would keep away. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-They'd be scared of us -because of our size. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-When they attack swimmers, -it usually happens on the surface. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-But at night, -it's a very different story. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-They might go for my legs or hands -if I get too close. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-Now and then, the shark puts its -head under some of these rocks... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
-..looking for sleeping fish. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-I pity any fish which sticks -its head out for a look... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:32 | |
-..with all the large fish about. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-There's a party of sharks here! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-There are half of dozen around us -wondering what's going on. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
-One's gone to the left, -another's gone to the right. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-Some are over there. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-Here he comes. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-It's coming in -to see what's going on. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-Did you see that? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
-It went right at me between my legs. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-What a beautiful animal. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-It's like a torpedo -the way it goes through the water. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-This is a special place. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-Look at all the sharks. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
-I'm so glad I've been able -to swim here. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-It's full of life. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-Oh, wow! Look at this! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-That was a moray eel. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
-It was about two metres long -with incredible camouflage. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:26 | |
-She's hidden herself -right in that rock over there. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-I'm more worried about the eel -than the sharks to be honest. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
-It has a nasty bite -so I won't get too close. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
-I'm so glad -I've come down here in the dark. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-This place is teeming with life. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-I thought to myself... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
-.."Do I really want to go down there -in the darkness?" | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
-If you make the effort, -it's worth doing. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-It's so different -going down at night. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-All you can see -is what's shown by the light. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-You can't see anything else -beyond the shaft of light. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
-Suddenly, a shark comes through -the shaft of light. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-It was incredible. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-I've realized a dream by being -within three milimetres of a shark. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
-Not one shark, -but about half a dozen of them! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-One thing -about going down at night... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-..when you know -there are sharks in the water... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-..is it doesn't matter -if you tell yourself... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-..they won't attack -and you're totally safe... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
-..the music to the Jaws film -goes around your head all the time! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-That was great. Really great. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-Worth doing. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |

-I'm travelling -along the Great Barrier Reef. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-I've reached Magnetic Island. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-Magnetic Island -is a paradise for wildlife... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-..as two thirds of the land -and water is a nature reserve. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-I'm told there's a lovely reef here. -I'm going to take a look. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
-Deeper down, -around the inner reef... | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-..I saw some of the most -colourful fish I've ever seen. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-There are fish all around me. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
-Blue and yellow fusiliers, -and parrotfish of all colours. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-To think we're so close to the land. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-For someone who wants a taste -of the Great Barrier Reef... | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-..without going too far, -this place is perfect. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-I'm about 50 yards from the beach -and there's so much life here. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
-But as I swam further down the -coast, I saw what I feared I'd see. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
-There were far fewer fish here... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-..and signs -of extensive coral bleaching. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-I've come down about 200 yards... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-..and I've just come across -a wide area of bleached coral. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:04 | |
-There are some living parts. -They're purple, pink and yellow. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-They're lovely. Very pretty. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-They're staghorn coral. -They look like a witch's fingers. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
-To go over such a wide expanse -and for it all to be dead is so sad. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
-I found it confusing... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-..seeing parts of the reef that -were so healthy and full of life... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-..while others close by -lay in ruins. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-This devastation was caused -by a rise in the water temperature. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
-My journey has been a mixed one -so far. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-I hope I'll learn more -about the reef's situation... | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
-..as I go further south. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
-I'm on my way to a special part -of Magnetic Island called Fort. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
-This is where the Australian army -prepared defences against Japan... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
-..during World War II. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
-Today, very different residents -live here. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
-I'm at one of the highest parts -of Magnetic Island called Fort. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
-I'm looking for koalas. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
-I've never seen any. -I've been to Australia once before. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-This is the place to look. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-Wait there a moment. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-There's a koala in the tree -over there. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-That's the first koala -I've ever seen. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-Well, well. It's quite low down too. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-I'm lucky to see one. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
-That's the rainbow lorikeet -flying overhead. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-It's such a pretty bird. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-Koalas don't go any further north. -This is the furthest they go. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
-They're solitary animals. -They're not sociable. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-The male will fight other males. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-Of course, -they come together to mate. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
-The only other time -you'll see two at once... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-..is when a mother's with its young. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
-This one's in an eucalyptus tree, -which makes up most of their diet. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-It's great seeing a koala, -so low down too during the day. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-They're very lazy. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
-They sleep at least 20 hours a day. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-My son's the same! | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
-They sleep for 20 hours a day -and eat. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
-The reason for that is there's -hardly any nutrition in the leaves. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
-They have to eat a lot then rest... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-..to let the stomach break down -the leaves to get the nutrients. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-That's why they sleep so much. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-I'll try and go under the tree -so I can look at its face. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:46 | |
-It's busy eating the leaves. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-It's not taking any notice of me. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-Great stuff. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
-Wonderful. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
-There's another one. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-It's fast asleep. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-Yes, it's fast asleep. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-It's grabbed a branch -and fallen asleep. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-Poor thing. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
-Goodness me. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
-They sleep for so long. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-Yes, it's just sleeping there. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-I think this one's a female. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-I can't see clearly from here. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-The females -rarely venture down to the ground. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-They get the water they need -from the leaves. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-The larger males -sometimes need more water. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-If there's a watering hole -they'll come down. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-They prefer going from tree to tree. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-They'll often stay in one tree -for a day or two. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-They sleep, grabbing in a branch, -feed and then sleep some more. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
-I won't go under it. -I'll leave her be. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
-She looks so contented -and so sleepy. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-She's tucked in. Sweetheart. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-What a place to finish my visit -to Magnetic Island... | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-..right at the top. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-I can see most of the island, -the mainland... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
-..and out there, the sea -and the Great Barrier Reef. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-It was nice to see a koala. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
-I've always wanted to see one -and hadn't seen one before. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-I've also always wanted -to dive in the reef. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-If I can dive and learn a bit more -about the reef... | 0:22:29 | 0:22:34 | |
-..I'll go home a very happy man. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |

-I'm travelling -along the Great Barrier Reef. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
-After hearing it was under threat, -I wanted to find out how bad it was. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
-I also wanted to see the wildlife -before it disappeared. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
-I'm on my way to Ribbon Reef No.10. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
-I'm about to do -a very different dive. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
-I won't have to wear the large mask -as I won't be talking underwater. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
-A sea turtle comes up to me. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
-Turtles, like sharks, -are built to live underwater. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
-But in contrast to sharks... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-..turtles have to go up to the -surface every so often to breathe. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
-At last, -I see a huge piece of coral. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
-The Monolith. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:46 | |
-Like a huge garden full of coral. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
-It's hard to believe that this -huge reef started from one polyp... | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
-..or a needle-sized seed... | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
-..thousands of years ago. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
-I was amazed -by the size of the Monolith... | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
-..like an underwater mountain... | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
-..and also -by the wildlife around it... | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
-..with colourful coral -growing all over. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
-The following morning... | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
-..we went to look at -what else the place had to offer. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
-I can wear the full facemask -for this dive as it's not too deep. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:44 | |
-Look at that! | 0:30:18 | 0:30:19 | |
-A pink anemonefish hiding. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
-The fish does this for safety... | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
-..to protect itself -from larger fish. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
-Look at the size -of this large anemone. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-Every now and then, -you'll see a fish poke its head out. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:41 | |
-There'll be many but they'll -all be from the same species... | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
-..the pink anemonefish. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
-Some of them are quite large. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
-Those are the females. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:53 | |
-There are slightly smaller ones, -the males. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
-Then there are the tiny ones. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
-They're neither male or female. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
-What happens is the female -gives the male a hard time. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:10 | |
-Its stress levels are high... | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
-..which keep it as a male. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
-Once she dies, -the male becomes the female... | 0:31:16 | 0:31:20 | |
-..and one of the tiny fish -becomes the male. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
-What a story! | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
-Look at all the fish around here. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
-Every now and then, all the -small fish move quickly in unison. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
-What that means -is a predatory fish has come in... | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
-..and tried to grab one of them. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
-By staying together -and moving in unison... | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
-..they're doing their best -to avoid that large mouth. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:17 | |
-These are interesting, -these blue creatures. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
-They disappear immediately. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:15 | |
-They're Christmas tree worms. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:22 | |
-A small part of their bodies -pokes out... | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
-..and they take food from the water. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
-If there's a threat, -someone like me... | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
-..this happens. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:35 | |
-They disappear down a sort of tube -where they're totally safe. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
-By creating a tunnel in the coral, -the worms have a shelter. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:52 | |
-It's a safe place for them -from the predatory fish. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
-I've had an incredible experience -diving on the Barrier Reef. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
-More importantly, I've felt -the thrill I dreamt I would. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:33 | |
-What's worries me is if the pressure -on the reef gets too much. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:41 | |
-A pressure created by us -and our way of life. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
-I've now dived many times -on the reef. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
-I've come to really enjoy the place. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
-I have admiration for it. -It's a living thing. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
-But I have a love for it too. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
-I've so enjoyed being underwater. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
-Every time I go down now, it's like -going to meet an old friend. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:19 | |
-There are things we could all do... | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
-..big and small. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:26 | |
-It's so important that we do them. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
-If we don't start doing them now, -the reef may be gone. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |

-The traditional owners -of the Great Barrier Reef... | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
-..are the native people, -the Aboriginals. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
-For over 60,000 years, -they had a unique culture. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
-It was based on the reef. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
-It was a place for them to hunt... | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
-..and a spiritual place too -of sacred importance. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
-There's evidence that over 70 tribes -of the Islanders as they're known... | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
-..lived on islands around the reef. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:25 | |
-In the trees behind me -is a very special cave. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
-In the cave -is the Aborigines' artwork. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
-I've heard a lot about this artwork. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
-I'm happy -that I'm going to see it now. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
-There's an interesting history -to the tribe, the Ngaros... | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
-..and to the landscape around me. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
-I'll tell you more -once I'm in the cave. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
-The caves are on the coast -near the Whitsundays. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:10 | |
-Wow. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
-It's hard to believe -we're standing in a cave... | 0:38:56 | 0:39:01 | |
-..looking at artwork... | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
-..that dates back -around 9,000 years. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:08 | |
-I don't know exactly -what the pictures are. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
-Sea turtles perhaps or boats. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
-Ngaro were the tribe who lived here. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:26 | |
-A tribe called Ngaro. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
-They came from the mainland. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
-They hunted in the forest -around here. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
-They hunted mostly on land. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
-Then, around 3,000 years ago... | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
-..the sea level rose here. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
-Their diet -then changed quite dramatically. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
-This place was an island. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
-The Ngaro changed -from being a mainland tribe... | 0:39:50 | 0:39:54 | |
-..to being an island tribe. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
-They lived on islands on the reef. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
-Then, unfortunately, -the white man arrived. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-They lived side by side -for a little while. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
-Then, the white man -started to fell the trees. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
-The Ngaro were vehemently opposed -to that. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:20 | |
-This was a place where they hunted, -where they lived. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-There was a battle. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
-The Ngaro won. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
-Then, the white people -asked them to come to a meeting... | 0:40:28 | 0:40:34 | |
-..to discuss peace. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:35 | |
-In that meeting, -they killed almost all of them. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
-There are none of them left today. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
-I have a shiver down my spine -coming to a place like this... | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
-..knowing that my feet -are standing... | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
-..where the Ngaro stood -9,000 years ago. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
-It's a very odd feeling. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
-It also leaves -a bad taste in the mouth... | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
-..thinking what the white man -did to them, killing them all. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
-But the white man did that -all over the world. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
-I wanted to find out more... | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
-..about native tribes' connection -with the Great Barrier Reef... | 0:41:34 | 0:41:39 | |
-..and what we can learn -if we're to save the place today. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
-Descendants of the tribe -still live in the area. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
-I went to meet one of them, -a man called Jay. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
-He still lives on the coast -near the reef. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
-This is where your ancestors -would've lived. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:26 | |
-Absolutely. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:27 | |
-This is one of the greeting spots. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
-Some of my people -from the mainland would come over... | 0:42:30 | 0:42:35 | |
-..and discuss what to hunt, where -to go and how to camp on the island. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
-In many different areas -of the island as well. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-There's a lot of us -communing back to nature... | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
-..back to K'Gari, -my ancestral word for Fraser Island. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
-It's what, sorry? | 0:42:50 | 0:42:51 | |
-It's what, sorry? - -K'Gari. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
-We should be calling this K'Gari. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
-We should be calling this K'Gari. - -K'Gari Island! | 0:42:55 | 0:42:56 | |
-We should be calling this K'Gari. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:56 | |
-Either way! | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
-These trees are amazing. There are -only one or two I recognize. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
-Some of these I don't. -This is a pine of some sort. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
-It's what we call a scarred tree. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
-My people called it kambai. -It's a canoe-creating tree. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:11 | |
-What you're holding there -is the canoe itself. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
-If you come round this side. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
-Have a look here. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:20 | |
-The big canoe shape? Yeah? | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
-My people used to carve -the canoe shape in the tree. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
-Over time, the tree would grow out -and they'd carve it again... | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
-..and it'd keep growing out -to make it deeper and wider. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
-There's your canoe, leaving the tree -intact and ready to go again. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:39 | |
-They also made shields as well -but this was mainly a canoe tree. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:43 | |
-That is fantastic. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
-So that suggests to me that the sea -and reef were important to them. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:49 | |
-Most definitely. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:51 | |
-My people's totem -is the bottlenose dolphin. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
-It represents the tribe's signature -on the Great Sandy Strait. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:59 | |
-It's a beautiful hunting ground -where my people roamed quite a bit. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
-It was an amazing place -where they fished. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:07 | |
-They hunted for dugong and turtles. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
-Can we have a look by the beach? | 0:44:10 | 0:44:12 | |
-Can we have a look by the beach? - -Please. Absolutely. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:13 | |
-I consider my people to be more -sea and land nomads. A bit of both. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:26 | |
-Even though they lived -on the coastal side. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
-This is their buffet, -what we're looking at... | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
-..which is quite good. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:35 | |
-So, the fact that your people... | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
-..would go to great lengths -to build seaworthy canoes... | 0:44:44 | 0:44:49 | |
-..would suggest that they would -spend quite a bit of their time... | 0:44:49 | 0:44:54 | |
-..out on the sea -and heading out to the reef. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
-Absolutely. | 0:44:58 | 0:44:59 | |
-At certain times of the year... | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
-..we'd get a lot of trevallies -being caught on the island. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:06 | |
-That's where a lot -of the neighbouring tribes... | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
-..would come over -and join our tribe... | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
-..for a sort of -hunting and fishing festival. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
-Which is great! | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
-It's amazing to think -that in little canoes... | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
-..they'd have gone all the way out. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:22 | |
-..they'd have gone all the way out. - -Right around the whole vicinity. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:24 | |
-Would the reef -have been sacred to them in any way? | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
-Absolutely. They treated it -with the utmost respect as well. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
-That's bar none. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
-They tried to utilize -everything possible... | 0:45:42 | 0:45:46 | |
-..to try -and make their tribe work... | 0:45:47 | 0:45:49 | |
-..while not overindulging -in overhunting the whole area. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
-There's enough food to go around. -That's very important. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
-If you have more, you share. It's -a big quality that's been passed on. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
-Even to today's society, -it's still the same. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
-If only we, the white people here, -had adopted your attitude... | 0:46:06 | 0:46:10 | |
-..towards the reef, the islands -and the natural world... | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
-..we'd be -in a much better place now. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
-It was very interesting -chatting with Jay... | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
-..and hearing his -and his forefathers' thoughts... | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
-..not only about the island -but about the reef too. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
-An important part -of their thinking... | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
-..was the fact they didn't take -too much of something. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:53 | |
-They took enough, -they shared with everyone... | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
-..but they made sure -they left plenty. | 0:46:57 | 0:46:59 | |
-They want to return here -and live with nature. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
-That's the big difference between -them and us, the white people. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:08 | |
-They made sure that they lived -with nature, alongside nature. | 0:47:09 | 0:47:14 | |
-They respected nature. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
-We seem to come in and want -to conquer nature every time. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 |
