The Inland Sea: An Australian Odyssey
Join Norwegian journalist Steinar Ellingsen and his crew as they set out to take on Australia for the first time. The crew consisted of a visual artist, a cameraman and a helpful, albeit broke, assistant. Their Australian Odyssey started in Melbourne and finished in the same place ten weeks later, after trekking 16,000 kilometers via Adelaide, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Alice Springs, Darwin, Broome, Perth and everywhere in between. Along the way they visit ecovillages, spot wildlife, interview seemingly random people with great stories to tell, search for UFOs, and they even have a sit-down with royalty.

Aldinga Arts EcoVillage - [ Episode 02 ( 06:25 ) ]
In this week’s episode we’re off to Aldinga Beach, just south of Adelaide. We meet Lynda McCarty who shows us around Aldinga Arts EcoVillage. We are introduced to Elizabeth Heij who takes on a quick tour of her passive solar house and reflects on life in the village. This intentional community is an example of [...]

Coober Pedy or desert nightmare - [ Episode 03 ( 04:57 ) ]
This week we’re off to Coober Pedy, the opal capital of the world. Opals were discovered here in 1914, and about 70% of all the world’s opals come from this dot on the map. It’s a fascinating place, but we’re not here for the gemstones…

Uluru and Molly Clark - [ Episode 04 ( 07:28 ) ]
After a quick stop at Australia’s most famous landmark, Uluru, we head to Alice Springs in search of 87-year-old Molly Clark. This was an interesting turn in our travels, as we had all thought that at this point on our trip we would be spending more time sightseeing than running around in a town chasing [...]

Alice Springs snake encounter - [ Episode 05 ( 03:23 ) ]
As travellers it is exciting to get up close and personal with local wildlife. But some species are better kept at a distance. We have run this video past a number of professionals, who are largely in disagreement about what kind of snake this really is. About half have said it’s a brown snake, famously [...]

The UFO capital (Wycliffe Well) - [ Episode 06 ( 07:05 ) ]
Alien spacecrafts! Abductions! Government conspiracies! Yes please, and a powered camp site for the night, thank you! Four hours north of Alice Springs we find the self-proclaimed UFO capital of Australia. Wycliffe Well is more like a themed caravan park than a town. As we arrived in the off-season for tourism, we possibly doubled the [...]

Crocs and Christmas in Darwin - [ Episode 07 ( 06:50 ) ]
The silly season is upon us as we enter the Northern Territory! In Darwin we catch up with Melbournian migrant Steven Noble who is working as a local tour guide. It’s Christmas Eve, and a fortunate coincidence made us cross paths with another local man, Craig West, who shows us some local fauna. If Rudolph [...]

The road from Darwin to Broome - [ Episode 08 ( 06:26 ) ]
The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve was something of an endurance contest, as we drove more than 2,000 kilometres in three days through some of the most spectacular landscapes that Australia has to offer. We met local bull enthusiast Tex Kitchen at Willare Bridge Roadhouse. And as we finally arrived in Broome we [...]

Flatback turtles (Port Hedland) - [ Episode 09 ( 05:21 ) ]
Port Hedland is the biggest town in the dry, harsh, and iron ore-rich Pilbara region. It's a sleepy ghost town the first week of New Year. The port is quiet, the town seemingly empty. Rusty old machinery is scattered everywhere around town, and we can't make up our minds as to whether we think it's [...]

The Prince of Hutt River - [ Episode 10 ( 06:46 ) ]
The Principality of Hutt River is Australia’s oldest micronation. Prince Leonard I and 30 other residents officially seceded from Australia in 1970, in an act of self-preservation, after the government technically threatened to take away both their livelihood and property. We follow the gracefully ageing Prince on a busy day in his Capital, Nain.
