Follow an incredibly exhilarating white water journey through the gorges that contain the oldest recorded culture on earth. An international team of filmmakers, photographers, white water athletes and environmental spokespeople will do what has never been attempted before. To complete the highest documented descent of Australians biggest river, The Mighty Fitzroy during peak monsoonal flooding and the first descent on two of the remote Kimberley’s steepest Creeks.
THE MIGHTY FITZROY
The Fitzroy River is Australia’s largest river and is known to very few as one of the worlds highest volume rivers when in flood. During the dry season the Fitzroy slows to a trickle but during the wet the Fitzroy can be up to 15km wide and has a flow rate of 30,000 cubic meters per second. This flow is equal to 21 times greater then the Colorado river in the middle of the Grand Canyon and far greater volume then the Nile, Zambezi and the Niagara.
