Part 1 is here.

Alcoa is mining bauxite in WA's northern Jarrah forest, ancient native forest that never grows back once cleared, sitting on top of Perth's drinking water.

The WA Government is about to decide whether they get to keep going.

We made a film about it.

Bleeding Jarrah. Part 1 of 3.

Historic performances, brutal conditions and a community spirit that once again defined one of Australia's most iconic trail running festivals.

Alcoa wants to keep mining bauxite out of the northern Jarrah forest. The lowest grade bauxite on the planet. To get at it they clear ancient native forest, the kind that took thousands of years to grow and does not grow back. Rehabilitation is a line in a press release, not a thing that actually happens.

30,000 hectares. The drinking water catchment for Perth sitting right underneath it. Species that live nowhere else on Earth.

And the WA Government is about to decide if they get more.

We made a film about it. Bleeding Jarrah. Coming Soon.

Some athletes chase records. Blaine Bourke chases something harder to quantify: the limit of what's left when preparation runs out and only will remains. The Queensland-based ultrarunner and Tarkine athlete claimed victory at the 2025 Noosa 100km — one of Australia's most demanding and beloved trail ultras — in a race that tested every gram of his mental and physical reserves. Crossing the finish line at 13:36:18, hand-in-hand with his kid dressed in a duck costume, the image said everything about who Blaine Bourke is: a competitor who runs for something bigger than the podium.

Some comebacks are measured in finish times. This one was measured in something far harder to quantify.

After 15 months away from running following a fractured ankle and cartilage damage, Tarkine Elite Athlete didn't sit still and wait to heal. He hiked. He trained. He completed a 24-hour non-stop effort with over 6,200 metres of elevation gain, because when the trails are taken from you, you find another way to stay connected to them.

Nine weeks of relearning how to run. A last-minute entry into Noosa 100km. And a finish line crossed not as a statement of being back, but as a reminder of why he never really left.

This is not a story about a perfect race. It's something better than that.
