Director of Photography and Producer Jarrod Boord spent days out in the field to capture the lakes like they have never been filmed before, taking the general public on a tour of the otherwise hard to access natural wonders. The Western District Lakes wetlands (Ramsar site no. 268), an iconic feature of the Corangamite region, was listed in 1982. It consists of nine large lakes on the Victorian Volcanic Plains between Winchelsea and Camperdown. The lakes system supports a large number and diversity of bird species with records as high as 100,000+ birds at one time with certain wetlands recognised international for their values as bird habitat through the Ramsar convention. A total of 70 species of wetland bird have been recorded within the site. The list includes 20 species that are listed under international migratory agreements CAMBA, JAMBA, ROKAMBA and the Bonn Convention, and 26 species listed as migratory or marine under the EPBC Act. The lakes also support number of federally listed threatened species, including the migratory shorebirds listed above, Corangamite water skink, Spiny Peppercress (lepidium ascersonii), Salt-lake Tussock-grass (poa sallacustrisis) as well as many state-listed threatened species.
