Thalu

ICYMI, the engrossing live-action series Thalu was released earlier this year. Filmed in the spectacular landscape of WA’s Pilbara region, it shows a group of children undertaking a quest to reach the ‘Thalu’, a place of great power. They are attempting to stop a huge dust cloud - and the Takers that lurk within it - before it destroys everything in its path. Along the way, they encounter friends and foe alike as they search for eight sacred stones and a special key that will unlock the power of the Thalu and, they hope, stop the Takers in their tracks.
