In the footsteps of Cpt. William Blyth | Restoration Island (full episode).

​Join me Nick Malachi on a thrilling exploration of Restoration Island, a place rich in history and teeming with wildlife! Known as the spot where Captain Bligh and his crew landed after the infamous mutiny to find water and oysters, this island is buzzing with activity as a film crew prepares for a historical reenactment.

​Nick attempts to capture exclusive behind the scenes footage of the Captain Bligh reenactment but quickly gets sidetracked by the island's more dangerous residents—massive saltwater crocodiles!
​Watch as Nick ventures to the west side, walking the same path Bligh once did, all while constantly scanning for lurking predators. He spots not one, but three enormous crocs, including one he estimates to be a colossal 4.5-meter crocodile! See the incredible size of the croc tracks and witness the chilling moment he tries to sneak up on a sunbaking beast. This is a real-life lesson in croc safety and navigating the dangers of the Cape York wilderness.

​The adventure takes a fascinating turn as Nick meets Dave, the island's caretaker and part-owner, and his friendly, yet thieving, pet dingo named Polly! He also encounters two dedicated kayakers, Jeff and Ernest, who paddled for 13 days from Cooktown!

​Discover the historical remnants of Restoration Island, including World War II army outposts, massive concrete water tanks from the 1940s, and incredible driftwood treasures. Nick explores unique, repurposed structures, including an old boat turned into a home, and learns about the island's history, from Bligh's landing to the present-day leaseholders, the Kuku Ya’u people.

​Don't miss the dramatic footage of the film crew's arrival with Captain Bligh's boat reenactment vessel and support ships, marking the start of a new chapter in Nick's journey up the coast.
