Heath Joske is a Patagonia Ambassador who lives, surfs and fishes in the Great Australian Bight. He knows that an oil spill in the Bight would ruin this pristine coastline and has campaigned strongly against Equinor's plans to turn the Bight into a dangerous, deep water oil field. In this short film Heath journeys west across the Bight coast meeting local fishermen, scientists, surfers and activists who've all spoken up loudly in defence of the Bight. Heath's destination is the Head of the Bight where he meets the indigenous custodians, already displaced by the "black mist" of the Maralinga nuclear tests and now facing another threat to their way of life.
