On the most protected island in Australia, Raine Island, 20,000 green sea turtles return to the biggest reptilian breeding colony on Earth.

Humpback whales have made the long journey to calve in the warm tropical waters. They spend a few months on the reef so the newborns can build up their strength, before heading down to the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. It’s one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom.

From the fringing reefs, the coral cays and the islands of the Torres Strait, view a unique and fresh angle on Australia’s greatest natural icon. This is the blue frontier, where man meets wild and nature calls the shots.
