Coast Australia follows renowned Scottish archaeologist and historian Neil Oliver on his very first trip to Australia, as he and a diverse group of co-hosts gather stories about our spectacular coastline: the history, the people, the archaeology, the geography and the marine life, investigating interesting and little known facts along the way. Oliver’s co-hosts, all experts in their field, are journalist and Australian arts and culture specialist Miriam Corowa, environmentalist Professor Tim Flannery, marine scientist Dr Emma Johnston, anthropologist Dr Xanthe Mallett and television presenter and landscape architect Brendan Moar.

We tour the southern coast of Australia from the City of Adelaide to the City of Perth. Port Augusta at the top of Gulf St. Vincent is our first destination, following the Eyre Highway to Port Lincoln, then from here to Ceduna and across the Nullarbor. This is cave country and one of the world's largest Southern Right Whale breeding grounds. We continue on to Norseman before turning south to the coastal town of Esperance, then it's on to the historic City of Albany famous for its whaling museum. The landscape then changes to big timber country where you'll find the Valley of the Giants.
