Join us on a scenic journey through Australia's mighty rivers from Western Australia then down through the Great Dividing Range in Queensland. Learn how deep the connections of these water systems are.

Legends tell how the Rainbow serpent created the vital watersheds from the mountains to the sea and these waters support all life in Australia and ultimately on the planet.

Mother Nature's design is vital for our survival but what happens when chemical programs being rolled out around our country threaten these life-giving water systems creating ecological collapse?

We show the connections of the watersheds, past chemical programs that have cost many lives and also follow the current poor health of Gold Coast and Brisbane rivers resulting from chemical programs which have allowed deadly chemicals into the east coasts most vital connection of river systems.

We start our journey in the mighty Swan river in picturesque South Western Australia before travelling to the northwest and the remote Kimberley. Here we learn just how deadly chemical programs in the 70's cost many indigenous lives.

Then we head to the Far North Queensland coast from the ancient Daintree rainforest, before making our way down through the watersheds that feed into the Great Barrier Reef. From the wet Tully region, Carnarvon gorge, Mary river and more. We follow these incredible river systems all the way down through the Great Dividing Range to the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Along the way we learn the truth of how harmful chemicals have spread throughout our country and chemical programs are being accelerated throughout Australia. Chemicals are silent killers that find their way into diverse ecosystems changing the fabric of life.

This is a story of beauty and the Beast and how Australia's precious threads of life are being poisoned.
