Stranded! Dolphin Rescue

Stranded! Dolphin Rescue recounts Uncle Ken's experience as a Fisheries Officer when he helped to rescue a mass stranding of dolphins in a remote part of South Australia. Uncle Ken describes how they battled extreme cold and freezing water temperatures to rescue as many of these sacred and important animals as they could. His story demonstrates the sheer determination & resilience that was required to achieve such an amazing outcome, and the special bond that First Nations people have with them.
