Part 6 Deep South

The Otago Coast is a formidable place to live. Cold winds and waves roll in from Antarctica battering the wildlife, flora and people so much so that they are all shaped by their environment, often bending, but seldom broken. Geologist Hamish Campbell realizes there is nothing too solid about the planet we live on as he finds out erosion is causing our heritage to slip into the ocean. Neil find out about the tragic history of past seafaring days along the Catlins coast where the wild weather often forced captains to play a game of Russian roulette with their lives and that of their crews.
