Our Big Blue Backyard(2014)

Our Big Blue Backyard travels from Northland to Stewart Island, exploring six very special marine environments and features the colourful and varied inhabitants as they interact in their unique locations.

There is plenty of action in these aquatic communities as the lives of these close neighbours weave together to reveal entertaining animal dramas.
