Larapinta, known more commonly by its Western name, the Finke River, is the oldest river in the world, running through the heart of Central Australia.

Stretching over 750 kilometres, Indigenous clans of Central Australia have relied on the river for food, water, comfort and travel for generations upon generations. Larapinta's past, present and future is a story about culture, environment, art, climate change, totems, songlines and, of course, history.

In this 6 x 30-minute documentary series our series host Talia Liddle, a young Arrernte and Luritja woman, travels through the majestic Central Australian outback along Larapinta, taking viewers on an intimate and engaging journey where she meets with people who call Larapinta home, as well as scientists, rangers, Traditional Owners, artists, historians, archaeologists and palaeontologists - all of whom give her unique insights and stories of this once mighty river.
