This episode journeys to the remote beauty of Pilitika - Robbins Island, off Tasmania’s northwest coast — a place of sweeping tidal flats, rich wetlands, fragile dunes, and extraordinary gatherings of migratory shorebirds. Joining us is celebrated nature photographer and conservation advocate Rob Blakers, whose personal and long-standing connection to the island runs deeply. We’ll explore the art and ethics of photographing these remarkable shorebirds and the momentous global journeys some of them take. We’ll look at how to capture their grace without disturbance, how to anticipate their movements, and how to work sensitively within such a delicate and often harsh shooting environment. We also reflect on the island’s rich Indigenous heritage and its rich ecological significance. Through Rob’s imagery and his focused conservation purpose, we look at how photography can move beyond documentation — becoming a vital tool in safeguarding Robbins Island’s many threatened and endangered species that call this remarkable place home.
