- A unique journey into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture and Country through the four elements of Earth, Water, Wind and Fire.
- 'Crossing the Line' follows the journeys of two young medical students, Amy and Paul, who leave their safe middle class homes and university behind to be thrust into the harsh reality of everyday life on Mornington Island. Like most Australians, they have never been exposed to life in a remote Indigenous community. Throughout their eight-week placement in this remote Indigenous community, Amy and Paul move beyond their professional roles to make personal connections with some of the locals. There is an ongoing tension between their personal experience with the community and the professional distance they are told they need to maintain in order to practice professionally. Extremely moving yet unsentimental, this film offers a rare insight into the practical realities of providing Western medical services to Indigenous communities and illustrates ways in which engagement can contribute to an improvement in the crisis in Aboriginal health today.
- "Lurugu" is the name of an initiation ceremony that had almost died out on Mornington Island after mission contact during World War One. This film records the community's efforts to revive the ceremony after a lapse of 14 years.
- Jase and Simon are back for a Cape York adventure starting at Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The trucks take the barge, and the boys take the big boat out to the island with fishing along the way.
- On Mornington Island, Tommy takes the boys to Plane Wreck Beach to explore WWII history with a few bogs along the way. They go crabbing for their lunch. Once the weather clears, the team make a run by big boat over to an island rookery.
