Big ideas aren't always born in a boardroom.

A docuseries proving that regional brilliance knows no bounds.

‍
You Can’t Do That in the Bush is a short documentary series spotlighting radical innovation, grassroots problem-solving, and bold leadership from regional and remote Australia.

Each episode shares the story of individuals, small businesses, and innovators transforming their communities — and often the world — through sustainable, creative, or unexpected solutions.

This series proves one thing: brilliance doesn’t require a city postcode.

‍Why It Matters

This isn’t just a show — it’s a movement.

We’re on a mission to bridge the city–country divide, amplify changemakers, and redefine what’s possible in the bush. This platform is built to:

• Celebrate untold regional stories
  
  
• Challenge outdated perceptions
  
  
• Create space for brands and causes to connect with impact
  
  

Whether you’re a policymaker, investor, curious viewer from the big smoke, or young regional leader — this is for you.

Episode 1 – Plastic Fantastic

Our debut episode follows two trailblazing Torres Strait and Cairns locals—Connor Clarke (Plastic Pirates) and Dennis Fay (Salty Monkeys)—as they create a circular economy by turning marine debris into usable plastic products and fuel.

This episode is a powerful example of community-driven innovation tackling global problems from Australia’s remote northern coastline.

Episode #2

In Threads of Culture, we meet Liana Hastie and her team, the creative force behind Sonlia Fashion in Mareeba, Far North Queensland.

From red-dirt roads to the Melbourne Cup runway, Liana’s story is one of creativity stitched with courage — proving that couture can flourish as beautifully in the bush as anywhere in Paris or Sydney.
