Talia Liddle presents Larapinta, a majestic environmental documentary series set in Central Australia

Larapinta is an NITV six-part documentary series that explores the stories and people that surround one of the oldest rivers in the world. The film takes viewers on an intimate and engaging journey meeting with people who call the river home. Also known as the Finke River, Larapinta stretches over 750 kilometres, running through the heart of Central Australia.

Leading up to the premiere of Larapinta on August 19, NITV Radio caught up with the series host Talia Liddle to explore the making of the ground-breaking documentary.

“My experience on Larapinta was life changing. Spending time with Elders and different communities along the river was an honour - listening and learning from voices that aren’t normally amplified,” Talia Liddle said.

In the documentary she gets to meet scientists, rangers, Traditional Owners, historians and archaeologists who all share unique insights and stories about the once mighty river.
