This series of seven documentaries features the most remote and the most forbidding landscapes of the world's largest island, Australia.

This is a land of lethal creatures and death-defying stories of survival. Greg Grainger has documented chilling stories of assault and escape, from crocodiles and snakes, to sharks and spiders, from the giant Cassowarry birds to the smallest ants that swarm like armies.

The series reveals landscapes - from deserts to coral reefs, from snow-fields to wetlands - filled with venomous creatures. It follows the characters who live and work in these death zones and how they handle these killers.

Highlights include:

A snake wrangler bitten on the nose by a deadly king brown snake

A giant 4-metre crocodile jumps from the water and snaps its jaws shut on our camera, destroying it and almost pulling our cameraman into the water.

A Great White shark bites inflatable on the Ningaloo Reef.
