In this Compass special The Awe Hunters, Julia Baird faces down the darkness of her cancer diagnosis and joins fellow seekers of wonder.
She discovers that awe has shaped our civilisations, driven people to change their lives and ultimately make them happier.
Join Julia as she goes in search of phosphorescence, the incredible Aurora Australis, the biggest trees in Australia, the secrets of the night sky and a musical alchemist.
