*Synopsis | Swimming South (2017)*
Australia's tourism industry, one of the enduring constants of our economy, is facing a tiny problem that is so enormous it could cost us billions. It's the Irukandji jellyfish - small, barely visible and deadly. Think of a bluebottle on steroids. Officially, two people have died of Irukandji stings here but experts fear the number is going to get much higher. It used to only be found in the waters of far northern Australia, but as the seas have been heating up, these jellyfish have been swimming south into far more populated areas - and the frightening news is they're coming to a beach near you.
