Early Fire Detection in Cape York

Cape York is not a place you can rush without consequences. This short film documents the planning, logistics, and on-ground reality of building two remote fire towers in one of Australia’s most demanding landscapes. Filmed across the southern Cape York Peninsula, operating out of Killarney Station and Dixie Station, the project unfolded across vast savanna, extreme seasonal conditions, and long distances where access, weather, and timing dictate everything. The region is defined by contrast. Months of dry heat where grasses cure and fire risk escalates, followed by a wet season that floods creeks, cuts roads, and reshapes the land overnight. Fire behaves differently here. When it runs, it runs fast, wide, and unforgiving. This film captures the physical and logistical challenge of building infrastructure in a place where there are no shortcuts, and where early fire detection matters most because help is far away and response times are long. From termite-mound savannas and unique wildlife to storms building on the horizon, the towers now stand quietly, watching over country where preparedness, patience, and respect for scale are essential. This is one of the hardest things we’ve ever built, and one of the things we’re most proud of.
