The Australian Outback is a land of extremes: extreme drought in the dry season, extreme humidity in the wet season and extreme beauty all year round.
The three-part PBS documentary series Outback (Wednesdays beginning Aug. 1 at 8pm ET) visits the Kimberley region in northwestern Australia, one of the most diverse and fascinating ecosystems on Earth. Here, aboriginal knowledge and customs merge with the work of scientists and preservationists who are devoted to caring for this sacred and unique land.
