The very first episode of Ray’s brand new series Australian Wilderness was broadcast at 8:00PM on Friday 13th October on ITV1. To watch again, please click here.
In episode one, Ray heads west to dive on Ningaloo Reef. This is the longest fringing coral reef in the world and is visible from outer space. However, the reef isn’t the only giant in these waters; Ray has a friendly encounter with a massive whale shark, the world’s biggest fish. Not as big though as a Megalodon – an ancient shark the size of two double-decker buses, whose fossilized teeth Ray finds in the cliffs near the reef.
