Data emisji: Lut 02, 2015

This week's series return of Australian Story is about an unlikely love affair between a successful advertising executive and one of the world's more endangered and endearing creatures. Dof Dickinson spent 20 years building up her own advertising agency in Sydney. She was unexpectedly commissioned to make a documentary about the endangered Flatback Turtles of Port Hedland and their struggle to survive in one of the world's busiest shipping ports. With only meagre funds on offer, Dickinson soon found that her growing passion for the Flatbacks was outstripping the budget - but she was hooked. In the process of making the film she discovered one of the causes of the loss of turtle habitat and is now on a mission to find a solution.
