About the film
Ningaloo’s Nursery explores the remote and unique Ningaloo coastline in Western Australia. The film journeys through three interconnected ecosystems—Cape Range, Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth Gulf—revealing the precious wildlife that call these lands and waters home.
Set against the backdrop of an unprecedented coral bleaching event and filmed in extreme conditions, Sarah and marine scientist Alice Forrest offer an awe-inspiring, personal account of their time on Country.
The film features intimate encounters with megafauna including whale sharks, manta rays and dugongs, contrasting visions of vibrant coral gardens with eerie, colourless reefs.
With breathtaking cinematography, Ningaloo’s Nursery highlights the critical role of Exmouth Gulf—Ningaloo’s true nursery—as a sanctuary for endangered species like sawfish and as a vital breeding ground for humpback whales. It also lays bare the Gulf’s alarming lack of protection, having been excluded from Ningaloo’s World Heritage status, and the mounting threats it now faces from industrial development.
“Ningaloo felt like the final frontier for Now You See Me—remote, wild, and unlike anywhere else. But even here, we witnessed the devastating effects of climate change… We didn’t set out to document coral bleaching, but were compelled to share this part of our story.”
