'Water Down Under' DVD - The Great Artesian Basin Story
Produced by Anvil Media on behalf of the Great Artesian Basin Coordinating Committee (GABCC).
Stretching from Cape York in the north, down to Dubbo and across to Coober Pedy, the Great Artesian Basin covers almost a quarter of the Australian continent, and contains enough water to cover the world over. Much remains to be known about this valuable resource that has enabled life in inland Australian to develop over thousands of years.
Water Down Under is the vast and rich story of the Basin, told by the people who live on the Basin itself, and presented by National Geographic's Hayden Turner.
