Going with the Flow - Tracking the Leeuwin Current
Back in 2006, when we were known as Blue Office Productions, we co-produced this short doco with MIRG Australia to highlight how important the Leeuwin Current is to the Western Australian marine and coastal environment. It saw us research, travel, and film from Western Australia's tropical Kimberley's to the temperate south coast at Esperance and immerse ourselves in the (mostly) pristine waters off these coasts.
What a series of amazing experiences and encounters with nature we had along the way!
WA's marine environment is like no other in the world. Its enormous diversity in both habitats and marine life is renowned and extraordinary places such as Ningaloo Reef, Shark Bay and the Abrolhos Islands have gained iconic status world wide. Less well-known is that the state's coastal ecosystems largely owe their existence to a narrow band of tropical water with a long and fascinating history - The Leeuwin Current. Going with the Flow is the story of this curious current, an epic journey that runs from the mangroves and mudflats of the tropical Northwest to the cold-water reefs of the Recherche Archipelago on the southern coast. Tracking the Leeuwin, with the help of three of the state's leading scientists, we are taken into some of WA's most incredible locations and discover why this unique current truly is the lifeblood of our amazing environment.
