Wiradjuri woman and journalist, Rae Johnston, takes Back Roads on a water fuelled odyssey to the East Kimberley region, at the very top of WA, where the mighty Ord River is the lifeblood of the community.

Rae Johnston discovers a remote and tiny community that punches above its weight on the international stage, in music, art, science, politics and culture - all while tackling a growing environmental and ecological crisis.

Rae Johnston continues her journey to East Arnhem Land and two very remote communities we rarely see - Gapuwiyak and Galiwin'ku - where the Yolngu people's lives are deeply connected to their culture, the land and each other.

Back Roads explores Western Australia's beloved Bibbulmun Track - a 1000 kilometre walk through mighty forests and a rugged coastline. Guest Presenter Rae Johnston meets people transformed by the experience.
