In parched lands, at the end of the earth,
there's a river under attack.
I've stumbled on something.
Whatever is to blame is causing countless aquatic casualties.
I'm caught up in an invasion...
Nothing here has any defence against this.
.. and it's taking over an entire continent.
I'm Jeremy Wade, fisherman and adventurer.
For more than 35 years, I've travelled the globe,
hunting for monsters.
Look at this beast.
But mysteries are still out there.
There's something behind me.
I'm journeying into the unknown, to reveal...
Yes!
.. the secrets hidden in these dark waters.
I'm in Western Australia, on the remote Fitzroy River...
.. where I've caught some of the rarest predators on Earth.
But I've been getting reports since I was last here
of disturbing changes beneath its surface.
Some species,
you've got individuals appearing in places they've never been seen before,
while other species, apparently, are in free fall.
So, what I wanna do is check if these reports are true,
and if they are...
.. find out what's responsible.
More than 400 miles long,
the Fitzroy River is almost untouched by pollution
and other interference from man.
So, what's causing all this turmoil?
My investigation starts where the reports originated. Derby.
A small outback town surrounded by barren wilderness.
It's a pretty sleepy-looking place,
but this is the only large habitation of any note in this entire area.
So, quite apart from just provisioning,
this is gonna be a good place to start talking to people.
First stop, a bar that's a focal point for the community.
If there are fishermen here,
they'll be the first to know about anything strange going on in the river.
Hello, I'm Jeremy. Nice to meet you. G'day, Jeremy. Yes, hello.
Hi. Paul.
Sarah and Paul have been fishing the Fitzroy for years.
They tell me they've seen a change in one of the river's biggest predators.
We've had a lot of problems with crocs.
They've become aggressive, dominant, they don't seem to be scared of us at all. Right.
Just gotta really be watchful.
You don't notice them at first. Suddenly, they're there. Right.
Before, they would keep their distance?
Yeah, more or less. They'd hide from you, really.
Right...
It appears that the crocs' sudden aggression isn't the only change in their behaviour.
In our area, down here at the mouth of the Fitzroy River,
we get the saltwater crocodiles,
but there's more and more saltwater crocs
being found up in the freshwater areas of the Fitzroy River.
So, they're not just becoming more brazen here, they're spreading as well?
They're travelling to areas you wouldn't usually find them.
So, definitely something going on. Absolutely, yes.
Yeah. Crocs are spreading.
Large-scale behavioural changes raise a red flag for me.
I would say that this increase in aggression by the saltwater crocs
is something to do with competition.
Um, it makes you think there's a new kid on the block,
or there's a bit of a turf war going on.
But a turf war with what?
If there's something new in the Fitzroy, I've gotta find it.
Sarah and Paul tell me about a network of brackish creeks
a few miles outside Derby.
The crocs there are reported to be highly aggressive,
so I'll have to watch my step.
There are no large land predators that can outcompete a croc.
Is it possible that the new arrival is some kind of big fish?
So, bit of a fish flesh on the end.
I'm after something flesh-eating, after something predatory.
It might be something I recognise. Who knows, it might even be something I don't recognise.
I cast from a high bank,
where I should be out of range of a lunging croc.
They can grow to 17 feet,
and they can drag anything into the water, including me.
Something like a fish in the water, in distress,
gradually getting close to the bank, that is...
It's a bit like the dinner bell, really, for a croc.
I'm also trying to pay attention to whatever else is in the river.
And it's not long before something's on my bait.
It feels small, whatever this is...
..so I'm not reacting to these little bumps,
but I'm waiting for something more decisive.
I don't think so...
All right. So, this is a small fish.
Nipping away at the flesh,
and you just end up with a piece of skin on the end.
Something big eventually has to beat these smaller fish to my bait.
Same as before.
Bit like fishing in the Amazon, where you put out a bait and every time it hits the water
it's just being eaten by piranhas.
I fish for eight more hours and catch nothing.
The last time I was on this river...
.. all kinds of big predators were going after my bait,
including barramundi and bull sharks.
Some of these are food for crocodiles.
If these fish have disappeared,
then hunger could be driving the crocodiles' new, aggressive behaviour.
This is what's been happening all day.
They just keep chewing through my bait.
The small fish are here,
but what's clearing this river of big ones?
If there is a new predator, maybe it's moved on.
I really think the best thing I can do now is just ask around
and, try somewhere else.
I'm wondering what's going on in other parts of the Fitzroy,
and whether there's any evidence of a new predator in the river.
Knocking on doors out here would take forever.
I've got an idea that could speed things up.
Yes, good afternoon, and you're listening to 6DBY Radio,
and we've got Jeremy in here from the River Monster programme,
coming in to talk about the Fitzroy River.
Going public isn't usually an option in the places I fish.
Now is my chance to get some answers from the people who know this river best.
Whenever I go somewhere, an awful lot comes from
the... the knowledge of the people who live there,
and fishermen are people who look closely at the river.
So, I've been hearing that there have been,
changes in the river in the last few years.
I just wondered if any of your listeners have any more details.
It sounds like fish are disappearing and appearing at different points along the river.
What becomes clear is that it's not just the mouth of the river that's been affected.
Thanks very much. Thank you, Dave. Cheers.
The callers indicate that some of the biggest changes are upriver...
..so I head for Camballin, about 100 miles inland.
So, the place I'm heading for is the site of an old irrigation scheme
but, more important to me,
there's a couple of good-sized pools there.
This part of the river has a barrage that stretches across its full width.
At this time of year, with water really low,
it's basically... I mean, it's a dam.
So, all the water, um, it just backs up, upstream of this,
and downstream, here, it's really, really dry.
It's actually quite hard to imagine that, in a few weeks,
this water's gonna come up, gonna cover those low trees there.
But for now, any fish at the other side of the barrage,
there's no way they can get into this bit here.
They have to wait for the rains to fall and for the water, generally, to start rising.
I meet up with Mark Williamson...
Good to go?
..a local fisherman who's agreed to take me onto the water.
If there is a new predator roaming this river,
I could have a better chance of catching it here.
Some big predators like to hide among underwater tree roots,
waiting to strike,
and a boat can get me right over the top of them.
But this submerged clutter will require a different type of fishing.
I'm not gonna be using the rod.
The line I've got on there isn't really up to what I'm gonna be doing,
fishing right amongst the thick stuff, right amongst the tree trunks.
If I get caught on a snag,
I'll most likely end up breaking my line and losing any catch.
So, I'm handlining with much heavier gear.
For bait, Mark has brought some freshwater prawns, called cherabin,
which should be irresistible to any meat-eater.
Yep...
I'll just lower this straight down,
and what I'll do, I'll just flutter it up and down.
Like that - give it a little bit of life.
What I'm waiting for is something that will take that.
When that happens, I'll just feed it a little bit of line
and then set the hook.
With no rod or reel to absorb the force of a big fish,
I run the risk of shredding my fingers.
There's something on it. Do you see that?
I'm in Western Australia, on the Fitzroy River...
.. trying to hunt down whatever could be responsible
for sudden changes in fish and crocodile behaviour
all along this unique river.
There we go. It's still there? Yes!
It's a turtle!
You can see the remains of its lunch there.
The whiskers of the shrimp.
If you're fishing, it's not just fish you get sometimes.
It's a sideneck turtle.
So, the head doesn't retract telescopically.
It folds it in sideways.
This turtle isn't anything new to the Fitzroy,
and couldn't have been causing turmoil in the river...
Off it goes.
..so it's not what I'm looking for.
To cover more ground, I troll along the edge of the snags,
and cast my lure as near to them as I dare.
That's a snag.
It's really lovely water.
So many spots that look like there should be something lurking there.
So, I've got to lure on which is designed to mimic a small fish...
.. and I've got the drag set...
.. tight enough to set the hook, but not too tight.
And part of the fish psychology is obviously looking like something edible,
but there's also...
There's also a component of annoyance involved.
If you swim something past their hidy-hole, and if you keep doing that,
there's a chance that they might eventually hit it, just out of annoyance.
We've had a couple of runs along this...
The shoreline along the edge of the snags, and no response.
There's nothing happening here,
just like at the mouth of the Fitzroy.
Could a new predator really have cleaned out more than a 100 miles of river?
Perhaps the only way to survive this disruptive new predator
is to have a turtle's heavy-duty armour.
I continue upriver
to follow up another report from a caller to the radio show.
Maybe I'll have more luck catching the culprit here.
All right, this is interesting.
I just pulled into this service station here, to get some supplies,
and, I've stumbled on something.
Here we go.
I'm walking past this notice board, and look at this.
What it's talking about is cane toads.
This is an animal that's not as harmless as it appears.
All these things are happening that I'm hearing about,
and the arrival of these...
it just seems too coincidental.
Cane toads are indigenous to South and Central America.
In 1935, a small group of toads were shipped to Queensland,
on Australia's east coast.
They were intended to control cane beetles,
which were destroying sugar plantations.
But the toads bred rapidly and started spreading.
Cane toads carry a potent toxin, lethal to anything that eats them.
Native animals unaware of the danger died in huge numbers.
I watched a documentary 20-30 years ago about these things.
Um, right over on the other side of Australia.
I thought they'd gone away, and certainly last time I was here, there was no mention of them.
How have the cane toads moved hundreds of miles across Australia to the Fitzroy
in such a short period of time?
Coming across that poster feels like a real breakthrough,
but there's an awful lot I need to find out
to bring me up to speed on the cane toad story.
I reckon...
.. the best way I can do that is actually talk to the people behind the poster.
I've contacted the Australian government department
that deals with conversation and biodiversity.
I meet field scientist Dave Woods on the invasion front line.
His job is to track and predict the cane toads' movements.
Thanks for making the time. G'day, Jeremy.
Right. So, um, right now, we are here, they've just arrived.
So, this is like the front, moving, showing their progress.
Yes, they've basically moved across Queensland into Western Australia.
When they first started moving, only two kilometres per year.
But what you're seeing on this particular map is that the cane toads
are now moving on average about 50 kilometres a year.
Originally, they just move about a mile and a half a year. Yeah.
But now you say it's like 30 miles a year. That's correct.
That just doesn't sound possible.
There has been a slight physiological change.
Um, the length of the cane toad back legs,
compared to the cane toads originally in Queensland, many years ago,
the cane toads on the front line have legs that are longer.
I've never heard about a population of animals evolving so quickly.
Since arriving in Australia,
the cane toads leading the invasion have grown legs an astonishing 25% longer,
enabling them to advance at a much faster pace.
From the point of view of, say, an evolutionary scientist,
you know, the environment here has driven a particular type of evolution
for sort of covering the ground quicker.
And in just over 80 years, that's occurred.
So... That is... It's quite incredible.
I want to see one of these toxic super-invaders for myself.
Dave has told me about a nearby aboriginal community called Muludja,
right on the current front line,
beside the Fitzroy River.
Morning. Good morning. Hello, there.
Hello, there.
A year ago, there were no cane toads here.
Then, almost overnight, hundreds started appearing.
Do you know where they go during the day?
Yeah.
If I can find a cane toad,
I'll have to avoid touching its head.
The animal secretes the toxin from glands behind its mouth and eyes.
I'll need to grab it by its powerful legs.
This is just the kind of place you'd find a snake as well, so...
Just gonna carefully lift this up.
No, nothing there.
Where are they? I don't know...
I can hear some shouting coming from over this bit of town here...
I'm in Australia,
investigating how the once teeming Fitzroy River
now appears to be empty of big fish.
And I've discovered there could be an unusual cause.
Poisonous cane toads.
Can I look? Can I get through? Yes. Where is it?
It's perfectly camouflaged.
You can see it? I can see it. Yeah, I was looking straight at it!
After seeing one now, it's likely I walked past many without noticing.
It's big. It's very big.
Before the search began, I took the precaution of checking my hands for any cuts.
Here we go.
Getting any cane toad poison into my bloodstream
could trigger a fatal heart attack.
This is the first time I've seen one of these.
It's strong, it's very muscular.
This is a big toad,
and one part of it makes it potentially lethal.
So, the whole reason these animals are such a problem,
these poison glands you've got on the neck.
And it's toxic at all stages.
This applies to the tadpoles, it applies to the eggs.
So, in terms of a survival mechanism,
you know, it's a really, really good defence.
Cane toads are capable of killing anything that eats them,
in water, as well as on land,
including fish that normally prey on native amphibians.
When I was hearing about the disturbances,
the strange things happening in the Fitzroy,
I was thinking some kind of new predator.
But I wasn't thinking of new prey.
Here's an animal that's dangerous, not because of what it eats,
but what happens if something else eats it.
And along with their poison, it's the cane toads' ability to cover ground
that makes them such a massive threat.
Now that I've got my hands on one, I want to see those longer legs that I've heard about in action.
The trouble with seeing it moving is it might get away,
so I'm bringing it under the house, where there is some smooth concrete,
and where I should be able to recapture it.
Um... right, let's put it down here.
It's fast, it's fast, it's fast, it's fast!
It's fast...
Got you... have I? There we go.
I'm out of breath. Can you hear that?
I've just been almost outrun by a toad...
After handling that toad,
I can't take any risks of poison being on my hands.
Well and truly rinsed.
If I didn't do that, and if I were inadvertently just to rub my mouth or something,
who knows... I don't know.
I'd rather not take the chance!
Community elders Edna and Helen have witnessed the immediate, devastating impact toads have had.
So, can you remember the very first one that you saw?
So, if they eat a cane toad, they will die? Yeah.
It's affecting everything, really.
People in the community are worried about the invasion,
and what will eventually happen to the wildlife in their river.
So much has already happened just in the one year since the cane toads arrived here.
And you really... you know, you can't help but ask yourself,
how much is this place gonna change in the next six to seven years?
And they've just basically gotta sit here...
.. and watch whatever it is, unfold in front of them.
What they're seeing now is only the start.
How much worse is it going to get?
I'm going to head beyond the Fitzroy's upper reaches,
to the Ord River System,
which was first hit by cane toads a decade ago.
By investigating what has happened to the aquatic wildlife there,
I should be able to get a glimpse of what might be in store for the Fitzroy.
Outside a motel along the way,
I find a stark reminder of the sheer scale of the invasion.
Right, guess what the first thing was that I saw this morning...
Just a few steps literally outside where I've been staying.
Here we go.
Hundreds and hundreds of baby cane toads.
Seeing them in that number,
it just makes you realise that it's one thing to see a large cane toad, but...
But the number of eggs they produce,
the number of tadpoles and little babies like that,
it's just...
Makes you realise just what an impossible task it is to get rid of them
once they've established.
Seeing this onslaught makes me fear the worst for the Fitzroy...
.. but it doubles my determination to find out what has happened to the Ord River System.
I continue my journey deeper into occupied territory,
to Lake Argyle...
..a man-made lake created when the Ord River was dammed in 1971.
Dr Ruchira Somaweera is doing an aerial survey here.
It's part of his study into the cane toads' impact on the lake,
and particularly its 35,000 freshwater crocodiles.
Ruchira has found dozens of dead crocodiles on the lake.
Autopsies revealed that most had poisonous cane toads in their stomachs.
No dead adult crocs were visible today,
but Ruchira wants to show me what's going on with the young crocs at the water's edge.
Ruchira believes that what happens to baby crocs is particularly significant
in the battle to survive the cane toads.
So, look for heads. Quite small, brownish...
Yes! That's a baby. Yes. Did you hear it? Yes.
I can see the tail. It's just here.
Now, hold on to the tail, and gently take it out.
There we go.
At barely a week old, they're at their most vulnerable,
except in one way.
Crocodiles are what we call gape-limited predators.
They eat what they can fit in their mouth.
They'll be mostly eating insects, eating small fish,
small frogs,
and that's when the toadlets from cane toads...
.. become appealing for these guys.
Toadlets are what I saw this morning,
very small cane toads that have just developed from tadpoles.
It's the moment in their life cycle when the toads contain the least amount of poison.
So, they'll eat these small ones
but, most times,
the toxic content is not enough to kill one of these.
But it's enough to make them sick,
and that is called taste aversion learning.
You eat something that makes you sick, you're not gonna eat it again.
By learning to avoid the cane toads at a young age,
this new generation of crocs on Lake Argyle
have a chance of surviving the invasion.
Whereas the adults can fit a big toad in their mouth,
they'll eat it and there's enough toxin to actually kill it.
They don't get a chance to learn, and they don't have a second chance.
This creates an alarming dip in the adult crocodile population
when the cane toads first arrive.
But as the younger generations grow up wise to the toads' toxicity,
numbers start recovering.
But I'm here to find out what's happening to big fish.
I need to get my line in the water.
I'm just gonna cast ahead of our travel.
Let this sink down
and, as it's sinking, just jig it slightly.
First cast.
It's just taken a line... This is a good fish.
Yeah. There it is, there it is. You can see the fish.
It's a silver cobbler,
also known as a shovel-nosed catfish.
A strong fish, close to ten pounds, something like that.
Nice, respectable size.
A fish this size could swallow an adult cane toad.
And they can get much bigger. Up to four and a half feet long.
Pop it back...
But this is a bottom feeder that stays in the lake's deep water.
Toads don't venture down that far,
so it's unlikely there'll have been any contact.
It's going to go, it's wanting to go...
There it goes.
The catches start coming thick and fast.
That's a fish. Pretty thing.
It's a lesser salmon catfish, going for something half its own body length.
Something's on it already. Something triggered on the drop.
At the moment, it's sinking.
It's another catfish.
All I'm catching is catfish,
a deepwater species which won't come into contact with cane toads.
There's another one.
However, compared to Lake Argyle,
the Fitzroy River is narrow and shallow,
which means fish will be forced into close proximity with the poisonous invader.
For a more meaningful idea of the Fitzroy's future,
I need to look for a fish that will definitely come into contact with cane toads.
I think what I've gotta do is go to one of the rivers in this area
that's also been facing the cane toad invasion
for about the same amount of time.
To the north, Lake Argyle flows into the Ord River,
which has similar conditions to the Fitzroy.
My plan here is to target one fish in particular.
The barramundi.
Big and veracious, it will take amphibians from the surface,
and its mouth is plenty large enough to engulf an adult cane toad.
If they've survived a decade of the cane toad invasion,
that would be encouraging news for the people on the Fitzroy.
We've got two tongues of current.
We've got one coming in here, one coming in there.
And I'll just cast it out, let it run a little bit and settle,
so the bait is more or less where those two tongues of current converge.
I'm feeling raindrops. Big, fat raindrops.
It's actually raining quite heavily over the hills there.
This looks like the arrival of the rain.
Most fishing rods have a symbol...
..a bit like that.
Um, a warning basically not to...
Not to stick a piece of carbon fibre up in the air
when you've got an electrical storm.
So, my time might be limited if this gets any worse.
Might be something at it. There's something at this.
Whatever this is, it's big!
Yep, there we go...
I'm in Australia,
hoping to catch a barramundi,
to see whether this iconic predator is surviving the toxic cane toad invasion.
Might be something at it.
Look at this, look at this, here it is.
See, it's on the surface. Whatever it is, it's on the surface.
Large shape...
But after a surge of power,
now it's not budging from the riverbed.
Whatever it is, it's still attached.
Wait a minute. It's coming in again...
Look at this, look at this...
It's pulled again... nope.
It's slowly coming.
I can feel some movement, but it's just inches.
Working...
The line has gone.
Looking at the rest of the line, this is tough, abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon.
Running my fingers up and down here, that's still smooth.
There's no roughness, so this hasn't rubbed against a rock.
That's been cut,
and I think, quite possibly, that's on a tooth.
And the way that was behaving, I'm pretty certain it was a crocodile.
It wasn't a... It wasn't a fish.
That was... A fish, you get this kinda movement.
This was a very slow, steady pull and then a stop,
and then off it went again.
So, no sign of barramundi,
but at least there's some life in this river.
What's also clear is that the wet season has arrived,
the time of year when barramundi head downriver to the estuary to spawn.
To give myself the best shot of catching one,
I'm heading to the mouth of the river.
And we're here.
Um, this behind me is Adolphus Island.
This is actually someway off the coast.
And although it's surrounded by saltwater, there are cane toads here.
How they got here, who knows,
but they have to be the Navy SEALs of the cane toad invasion.
Hi, good morning.
Thomas and Philip are indigenous rangers who know this area well.
The brackish water in the mangrove forest around here is typical barramundi territory.
But I've got to time it just right.
We're fishing at the bottom of the tide,
the last couple of hours of tide going out
and the first couple of hours of it coming in.
Right now, all the fish will be concentrated in these creeks.
Cane toads first invaded this spot ten years ago.
I wonder if the fish have figured out how to avoid them.
Yes, that's something... And another, now.
Something definitely had a go at that...
Yeah, look at that. Something definitely had a go at that.
That looks... that looks like a bite.
Something had a go at that. Definitely a very violent knock on the line.
It's almost like something with a parrot's beak has chewed that.
And that looks very like, um,
the signature of a pufferfish,
just that very powerful beak.
So, although not seeing the culprit,
it's left a very clear signature.
There we go. It's running.
It's actually coming this way with it.
It's coming this way with it.
It's coming this way. I think I should wind down.
This is good. Yes. Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And it's off.
Um, it's a dilemma.
How long do you let it run?
There's snags down here,
and if I let something take too long, when it's moving around,
it's just wrapped round the snag.
It's not an exact science.
It's running. Good. It's running away from the snag.!
That was a bigger fish. Bigger fish, but it spat the bait.
This is, you know, the frustrating thing.
Once it's gone, you never know what it was.
Here we go. Something on that.
I'll just let it go, close that...
That's a good... Right, that's a good fish.
This is good, this is good...
Here we go. I'm just gonna get it in the nets.
It's a marine species called a talang queenfish.
It's got that big dorsal fin,
but it's got those little finlets on both the top and lower side of the body.
You don't have to be an engineer to look at that and go, "Yeah, that's a pretty fast fish."
In the oceans, where the water tends to be clear,
and where there's nowhere to hide,
it does tend to be about speed.
If you're a predator, it's about being able to chase down your prey.
If you're prey fish, it's about being able to move fast and get out of the way.
It's like an arms race, everything trying to get faster and faster.
Queenfish spend limited time in estuaries,
so they will have little contact with cane toads.
Nice to catch.
It's not what I'm after, but it gives a bit more of a picture of this place.
I'm beginning to wonder whether the cane toads have gotten to the barramundi before I can.
The tide has risen up into the mangroves,
and the fish have dispersed.
Any fishing will have to be put on pause.
We're four hours away from the nearest town,
so we make camp on the island.
Thomas and Steven tell me how the cane toad invasion unfolded around here.
Does anybody know how they managed to cross the saltwater to get to the islands?
They swam?
That's quite incredible, isn't it? Normal frogs don't do that. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, I think to come all the way across the country to here,
they've got something, haven't they? Yeah.
Thomas knows of a place where big barramundi were caught before the cane toads took over.
But are they still there?
I'm eager to find out if this iconic predator has managed to survive.
This is a shallow, cut-off branch of a river.
Toxic contact is guaranteed.
Cane toads are dependent on fresh water,
but cane toads have to come here, so anything in the water,
specifically the barramundi,
they are going to come into contact with the cane toads.
If barramundi can survive living side by side with cane toads,
it would be a positive sign for the future of the Fitzroy
and any other river in the toads' path.
Is it all right?
A lot of this, you can't really get to the water, no?
This is fantastic.
Right...
Bit of sand here, with access to lots of snakes.
Looks like good water for barramundi.
But there's evidence of another top predator being here, too.
I wonder if this croc was a casualty of a cane toad.
There's evidence of a live one, too.
Is that a slide, there?
While I cast for a barramundi,
Thomas keeps an eye on everything around us.
Yes! Argh!
This is a good fish. This is a good fish.
It's nice to see them jump,
but when they jump it's a chance to spit the hooks.
I wanna turn here, if it's going that way...
A distressed fish will attract the attention of any crocodiles nearby.
I've got to land it fast.
Keep it away from the snags, keep it away from the snags...
There we go. Right, it's in shallow water.
I'll get its head pointing this way, get its head pointing this way...
Finally, a barramundi.
Up it comes.
Nice-sized fish.
At 38 inches long, it's at least six years old.
There we go.
What is particularly interesting right now
is that this fish would have completed its life cycle, until now,
during the time of the cane toad invasion.
This migratory barramundi would have had more opportunity than other fish
to be impacted by the deadly cane toads...
.. but the fact that it's still alive suggests something extraordinary.
Like the baby crocodiles I saw on Lake Argyle,
it seems possible young barramundi have learnt to avoid the toxic cane toads,
allowing them to survive and grow into adults.
And if barramundi are adapting,
it's possibly the same for other species, too.
In terms of what this fish means for the Fitzroy River...
Um, basically what happens there, when the cane toads sweep in,
it's gonna look pretty bad for a while,
but the iconic fish of the river system...
..is gonna do all right.
This fish sends a message of hope to the people down in Fitzroy River.
You know, "Don't give up."
It's gonna look bad, but nature will bounce back.
And on that note, this one's gonna go back.
