Inland Kimberley is now so stiflingly hot, everything and everyone moves with caution — with the exception of golddiggers, Honest John and Steve. The region’s remaining waterholes are packed with animals, forced dangerously close together. Windjana Gorge is a prime example – a pristine oasis where brave humans wade into crocodile-infested water in the name of science. The coast is also a place to congregate. Thousands of shorebirds arrive from the world’s longest single migration, only to be blasted with nets by crafty bird lovers. The humidity builds until the skies finally explode with thunder and rain. Nyul Nyul ranger, Albert Wiggan, sings a welcome to the life it brings and arrival of a new season in his ancient land.

"Australia: Return of the Wet" airs Wednesday, August 8 at 8 p.m. on WHRO-15.
