Perched on the edge of the continental shelf, 300km from the Australian mainland lies Scott Reef.
This ancient coral atoll, isolated for millions of years from other reef systems and mainland influences, has developed its own sub populations of unique species. Formed more than 15 million years ago Scott Reef is home to more than 1200 species including endangered seas snakes, green turtles and spectacular corals. But Scott Reef is under threat from global corporation Woodside.
Corals’ Last Stand follows the voyage of a team of prominent Australians including author Tim Winton and musician John Butler as they travel to the reef to bring worldwide attention to the impact that drilling will have on this special place.
This half hour documentary asks whether Australia can really afford to let Woodside go ahead with it’s gas export project at the expense of Scott Reef, our climate, and our economy.
