Where The Water Starts tells the story of our fragile alpine regions, particularly Kosciuszko National Park, through the eyes of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people with deep ties to the land and the wildlife. 

It features our Indigenous Ambassador Richard Swain and his wife Alison as they speak out about the hard-hooved invasive animals that are trampling and endangering the viability of the headwaters of three iconic rivers.

The direct impacts of global warming become a visceral and frightening reality for Richard and his wife, Alison. The massive bushfires of 2019-2020 surround their community and burn vast swathes of Kosciuszko National Park, highlighting the broader context of the climate crisis.

The film explores our shared Indigenous and colonial histories and identities. It focuses on the themes of Caring for Country as a shared responsibility of all Australians; that the best of Aboriginal connection and the best of regenerative science can work together for a better future for the alpine environment and the planet.
