Grey Nurse Shark – Coastal, New South Wales
Brandon and Kayne travel to Seal Rocks, off the northern coast of New South Wales, an area renowned as one of the last colonies of endangered Grey Nurse Sharks – there’s only about 400 left in the wild. Brandon challenges Kayne to swim with the sharks and to take an underwater photograph, in case one day they are gone for good. And because swimming with sharks is just not enough danger and excitement, Brandon and Kayne take a high-velocity sky dive plummet to Earth, before a session of rampaging sand dune boarding. They also experience a local Indigenous smoking ceremony on Boomerang Beach.
