Ningaloo Nyinggulu (ATOM Study Guide)

In a world first, celebrated author and conservationist Tim Winton takes us to one of the Earth's last truly wild and intact places. Western Australia's global treasure, Ningaloo.

A region that has supported humans for over 40,000 years, where the desert meets the sea, Ningaloo is a wonderland of biodiversity and a refuge for many species endangered or extinct elsewhere.

On this personal and immersive journey, Tim celebrates some of Ningaloo's many secrets and wonders, introduces us to its protectors and custodians, goes in search of new knowledge about its three mighty ecosystems, and showcases the region's role as a beacon of hope amid our extinction crisis and climate emergency. Its First Peoples call this global treasure Nyinggulu. The rest of us know it as Ningaloo.
