Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion: Corals' Last Stand (2025)
This ancient coral atoll, isolated for millions of years from other reef systems and mainland influences, has developed its own sub populations of unique species.
Corals' Last Stand follows the voyage of a team of prominent Australians including author Tim Winton and musician John Butler as they travel to the reef to bring worldwide attention to the impact that drilling will have on Scott Reef.
Formed more than 15 million years ago this special place is home to more than 1200 species including endangered seas snakes, green turtles and spectacular corals.
This half hour documentary asks whether Australia can really afford to exploit this gas reserve in a time of growing community concern at rising global temperatures. And if it does will Scott Reef and the life it supports be the collateral damage of that decision?
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion organised by event collaborators Parents for Climate Change Fraser Coast Local Group to speak on local efforts to protect reefs in the Fraser Coast.
