Expert anglers from around the world are in Tasmania for the Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships. Among the teams fishing for trout will be a group from the small Pacific island nation of Kiribati.
There are no freshwater rivers or lakes on Kiribati.
They're a team that knows how to make an entrance. Dressed in waders and walking past gum trees down towards a freshwater lake in the Tasmanian highlands the fly fishing team from Kiribati is about to do something that they could never do at home.They're going trout fishing. Nareau Bataeru is the team captain and he's from a small coral atoll called Christmas Island where there's no fresh water rivers or lakes.
The team is hoping to use the fly fishing championships to make the point that their low lying island home may be on borrowed time due to global climate change.
