G'day. I'm Dr. Helen Carstairs. For thirty years I answered the phone for the Department of Primary Industries when something turned up dead in the outback. Kangaroos in the wrong paddock, camels vanishing from country they'd overrun, toads moving faster than the maps said they could. This channel is those case files. One at a time: what we found, what we tested, and what the data finally admitted. Queensland to Tasmania, the red centre to the coast - if it's native, feral, or turning into something new, there's a file with my handwriting on it. Real cases. Real numbers. No nonsense. New case file every day.
