Deep beneath the surface of New South Wales, a fire has been burning for thousands of years. In this episode, we travel to Burning Mountain, Australia’s only known underground coal seam fire, to uncover the geological forces that have kept it alight for centuries. This natural phenomenon provides a rare window into subterranean processes and offers insight into how geology, time, and combustion intertwine.

Next, we head to Western Australia to explore the remains of the ancient Devonian Great Barrier Reef, a fossilized reef system that dates back over 400 million years. These towering limestone formations are not only stunning but also tell the story of life in the shallow seas of the Devonian Period. From coral-studded marine ecosystems to the long-vanished creatures that called this reef home, we reveal how Western Australia preserves one of the world's oldest reef systems in spectacular detail.

In the heart of the Northern Territory, we journey through Kings Canyon, an immense geological formation carved into ancient sandstone by water and time. With walls soaring over 100 meters high, this natural wonder showcases sedimentary layers that stretch back hundreds of millions of years. Learn how tectonic activity, erosion, and climatic forces have sculpted this majestic canyon, making it both a geological treasure and a cultural landmark within Watarrka National Park.

Finally, we head to Victoria to investigate a geological mystery in Heathcote, where chromite—an unusual mineral for the region—appears to be linked to gold mineralisation. This segment dives into the possible origins of the chromite-bearing rocks and explores how their presence might help unlock new clues about gold formation in the area. With field observations, mineralogical insight, and regional context, we unravel a puzzle that challenges conventional geological models.

If you're fascinated by Australian geology, underground fires, fossil reefs, sedimentary formations, or hidden gold-bearing structures, this video is packed with stories that bring the Earth's history to life. Join us as we explore some of Australia's most captivating and lesser-known natural wonders.
