Les Hiddins is back in the rugged Kimberley region of Western Australia - an area renowned for its beauty and isolation. He ventures as far as his vehicle will go, then backpacks to various historical sites, from the ancient rock paintings of first Australians to the coastal cave where two German airmen struggled to survive in 1932. Hiddins also visits a little-known landing site of Japanese soldiers in 1944, and proposes an interesting link between the huge boab tree and an early settlement of Madagascan people in the Kimberley.
