Interview with environmental artist, John Dahlsen. John makes a daily trip to the beach where he collects plastic waste washed up the night before. From this waste he creates art pieces.

In the 1860s to the early 1900's, Echuca was a bustling port with paddlesteamers ferrying people and goods all through the the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee River systems. By the early 1970's, the port was derelict and unused. The council of the day decided that its paddlesteamer heritage was unique and started restoration of the port.
