The magnificent rock that is Uluru is an icon of wild Australia – remote, untamed, and mysterious.
However, as Aaron Pedersen explains, The Red Centre with its arid deserts hold much more than meets the eye.
Desert Australia conjures images of red soil and harsh sun, overlooked by the towering monolith of Uluru. This magnificent rock is an icon of wild Australia – remote, untamed, and mysterious. But the desert landscapes hold much more than meets the eye.
The Red Centre, hosted and narrated by Aaron Pedersen, shows how it is teeming with life, many species of which are found nowhere else on earth.
This episode explores how the flora and fauna of the red centre endure the extremes of the desert climate and can survive years without rain.
Across the heart of the continent, the boom and bust cycles of the Australian climate bring alternating heat and cold, droughts and flooding rains, periods of lean times and periods of growth and new life.
Through it all, the creatures of the desert survive and exploit these extreme swings in their environments, and as the climate changes they must continue to adapt.

Yes it’s nature etc but if you guys left those goats to die in the waterhole after filming their dilema you are bad humans
We were very disappointed with the huge factual mistakes in this episode. The program is very specifically promoted as the Red Centre, which is Central Australia, NT. So much of the footage is not Central Australia, but what looks like South Australia or much further north. Details given as fact, are simply not true for the Red Centre. It appears this program was put together to please a preconceived idea and the truth was a very sadly let down. Surely we can do better than this when we are promoting our wonderful country. We won’t be watching any other episodes.
