Australia's Snowy Mountains are the birthplace of some of our most iconic rivers – including the Snowy, Murray and Murrumbidgee – but the delicate alpine ecosystem that supports these vital water sources is being threatened.
Hard hoofed animals are trampling and endangering the viability of the headwaters of three iconic rivers. After seeing the destruction of the fragile alpine ecology first hand, Richard Swain, with the support of his wife Alison, decides to speak out.
Where The Water Starts brings together respected Aboriginal community leaders, as well as business people, a local farmer, a scientist, a former parks officer and a social historian, highlighting the importance of connection and country when it comes to protecting our planet.
Join us after the screening in Cameo for a community gathering to discuss the film.
