First Sounds Dr John D’Arcy presents the feel-good story of the year. Witness the incredible moment when little Cooper hears his mother’s voice for the very first time. First the look on his face, then his little giggle, then his roaring laughter – a sight, and sound, you won’t forget. The new-generation of hearing devices are much more advanced and powerful than the original cochlear implants, this technology is transforming lives young and old. Sunday Night is there for the joyful and inspiring moments, when patients hear their first sounds. The Land that Time Forgot It is a secret valley, a hidden canyon deep in the Kimberley, a land that time forgot. It is also the most magical place in Australia because it holds the secret to protecting the country’s native wildlife. Untouched by man, this remote part of our country is a refuge for endangered creatures. Join Alex Cullen on an expedition to investigate how the animals have survived here, and how they’ll stage their return.

See the medical miracles giving them back their hope, and the fighting spirit giving them back their lives.
