Amazing Quest - Stories from East Coast Australia - Somewhere on Earth

Darren Burns is one of the 150 aborigines that live here - on North Stradbroke Island. He tells about us what he does and what he teaches the children of the island.
Then there’s Lossy Thompson, ancestor of Lord Howe - founder of Lord Howe Island. Her love is for the island that has no wifi, no malls, no phones. She’s part of the weed eradication team who’s painstaking work have - so far - saved the natural vegetation.
Lastly, we move further north on the Australian Continent to the Daintree rainforest where Claire Gely, entomologist, works, finishing her doctorate at the University of Brisbane. Her love of insects brought her all the way from France.
Somewhere on Earth spotlights places the world over where Nature has given free rein to its imagination and has taken the time to create breathtaking landscapes. These spots are often far removed from the great currents of the modern world and this isolation has long kept them sheltered from the aggressions of human activity
