Shoalwater: Up for Grabs (1992) saw Bradbury combine his film making talents with long-time university friend and environmental activist, Peter Garrett, lead singer in the internationally successful band Midnight Oil.
Aired nationally on the commercial Seven network, it was instrumental in stopping sandmining going ahead in one of the largest areas of untouched wilderness on the east coast of Australia.
The Federal Government and Prime Minister Paul Keating moved to protect the area three weeks after the film was shown.
