EPISODE SIX – White Gold Wreck

World Heritage–listed Ningaloo Reef is known for its turquoise waters, thriving coral gardens and incredible wildlife — but beneath the beauty lies a tale of greed and survival. 🌊🐋🌴 In 1856, the timber sailing ship Occator set course for the remote Muiron Islands, chasing rumours of ‘white gold’ guano. Instead, a series of mistakes sent her crashing into the unforgiving reef, leaving her crew stranded in one of Australia’s wildest frontiers.

In this episode, the Shipwreck Hunters follow in the footsteps of those desperate survivors — uncovering new evidence that could finally lead to the wreck of this long-forgotten ship.
