Return to 1616: Former island pastoral operation being returned to its natural state | ABC Australia

One of the most remote pastoral operations in Western Australia ceased operations a decade ago, and is now being returned to its natural state. But it's not part of the enormous land mass of WA - it's the state's biggest island that had a very famous visitor around 400 years ago. Landline's Sean Murphy went to Dirk Hartog Island to check out one of the most ambitious conservation projects ever undertaken in Australia. 📽 Video produced by Sean Murphy and edited by Landline. 📺 Watch Landline Sundays on ABCTV or catch up on iview: https://bit.ly/LandlineABCiview Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/ABCAus-subscribe ___________________________________________ Web: http://abc.net.au/ Facebook:   / abc   Twitter:   / abcaustralia   Instagram:   / abcaustralia   ___________________________________________ Please note: On most of our videos, the captions/subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube.
