Australia: Land Beyond Time - Travel Video.  DVD.  IMAX

Extraordinary panoramic vistas, taken from a 2-engine plane with a camera attached to its nose, amazing geological facts, and marvelous animals, most of them unique to Australia, are what we get in this superb documentary of what is both the world's smallest continent, and its largest island. Once joined to Antarctica many millions of years ago, with high mountains and lush forests, time transformed Australia into 3 million square miles of mostly arid flat land, and its creatures adapted to the different weather conditions.

 

Fabulous and often amusing footage of kangaroos and koalas (both share the same ancestral marsupial possum), as well as desert creatures from ants to the giant and fearsome parenti lizard, and the "living contradiction," the platypus, are among the many delights shown in this film.
 

 An event that only occurs approximately twice every century, torrential rains filling the Outback's Lake Eyre, bringing long dormant animals to life, as well as flocks of pelicans, is caught on film, and is a spectacular sight. This is a glorious but harsh land, with a strange beauty that fills the soul. Australia is described as being more like another planet than another country, and this documentary has many images rarely seen.

Directed by David Flatman, written by Flatman, Meg Morrison, and poet Les Murray, it is narrated by Alex Scott, and has a lovely score by David Bridie. Made for IMAX in 2002, every aspect of "Australia, Land Beyond Time" is excellent, is a must for anyone interested in this great country, and those of us who like to explore foreign lands without leaving home.  c 2004.  75 minutes.

Australia's Aborigines - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.  The Gagudju aborigines of northern Australia represent the longest unbroken culture in human history, having passed along their traditions for 40,000 years.  Now, however, it seems the Gagudju are experiencing their final generation, as young members of the tribe have gone off to practice the ways of modern civilization.

   In this fascinating and often beautiful tape from National Geographic, tribal elders of the Gagudju display some of their rituals before they become lost to history.  As the aborigines coexist closely with nature, the tape also features considerable footage of the exotic animals in the Kakadu National Park, home to the tribe.  The aborigines have hunted the vicious saltwater crocodile, and have passed along many legends about the birds and lizards found in this amazing environment.  One young aborigine, the son of a tribal elder, works today as a park ranger at Kakadu, and the tape follows his efforts to reconcile the traditions of his ancestors with his life in modern society. 

  As one would expect from National Geographic, this tape features astonishing nature photography as well as solidly researched material on the Gagudju people.  The scenes of the elders trying to pass on their lore are touching, as is the mention that one elder often cries at night because he realizes he is the last of his people, as the younger generation no longer undergoes the initiation rituals.  This tape would be worthwhile for the gorgeous photography alone, but it is also an intelligent last look at a vanishing culture.  60 minutes.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.  Few biological wonders can rival those in Australia's Great Barrier Reef for spectacular beauty, and few filmmakers can rival National Geographic's lush photography.  The giant colonial organism, though endangered by pollution and other threats, still spawns once each year in a gorgeous frenzy of new growth.

   It's a fertile time for all of the creatures dwelling in and around the reef structure, and the National Geographic cameras capture barracuda, bright damselfish, giant marine worms, and many other lovely and fascinating neighbors.

    Neville Copland's gentle music complements the serene photography, and the narration, while interesting, doesn't distract the viewer from the stunning delights on the screen.  We can't all afford a diving trip down under, but Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the next best thing.

Review: This documentary brings splendid color, beautiful creatures, and amazing music to the screen.  You get one full hour of nothing but the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef.  This video is loaded with information and keeps your eyes glued to the screen.  The music is also very relaxing, whenever I get tired and want to relax I'll even turn on the movie to just hear the music.  60 minutes

Australia's Kangaroos - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.  Discover what Australia's beloved kangaroo is really like as National Geographic takes you from lush rain forest to rugged outback for an up close encounter with kangaroos and the spectacular land down under! - Witness the amazing diversity of these remarkable creatures and see how kangaroos have evolved during 60 million years of isolation on the spectacular Australian continent.
- Follow a kangaroo "joey" from "life in a pouch" to the trials of adulthood.
- Experience the kangaroo's constant struggle to cope with its outback enemies, from wild dingoes and wedge-tailed eagles to human hunters. From Olympic-caliber jumping giants to gravity-defying cliff dwellers, this is the definitive look at these wonders of natural engineering.

   Half the kangaroo species Down Under are extinct, endangered, or vulnerable due to human settlement.  But conversely the red kangaroo has actually thrived due to the livestock wells dug across the desert.  This 54-minute video follows one red mother-and-joey team as they avoid eagles and dingoes, forage for food, and experience the special relationship the mother's pouch affords the pair.  Within 48 hours of the grown-up joey permanently leaving the pouch, a tiny embryo climbs in and the cycle begins again.

   The story takes several side trips, including one to the rain forest to visit a couple of tree-dwelling relatives and an excursion to Australia's companion isle to meet the ferocious Tasmanian devil.  Narrator Stan Watt offers an abbreviated, speculative history on the 60-million-year evolution of marsupials on the isolated continent, and Aboriginal legend and dance are briefly explored.  But it is the joey's coming-of-age story and the strong mother-child bond that is the focus of this tape.

   Graphic footage of dead kangaroos, fallen prey to other wildlife or killed by legal hunting and road accidents, might make this program unsuitable for very young or sensitive children, like me.  60 minutes

Great Train Journeys of Australia - Travel Video.  VHS.  Boxed Set of 5 VHS Video. Cassettes.  From the populated coastline cities of Melbourne and Brisbane to the most treacherous and isolated outposts Down Under, Great Train Journeys of Australia captures the enormous breadth and variety of both the Australian landscape and the identity of its people. More than just a window on this vast and often quirky nation, the trains themselves take on the essence of their paths, making each trip an experience in itself. Whether you want to discover the excitement of Sydney, explore the rich history of the Aboriginal culture, or experience the mysticisms of the terrain, climb aboard for an unforgettable adventure.  Run time: 4 hours, 10 minutes.

Customer Comment:
"I tell you these video's were so great that I would go to Australia twice just to be able to ride all the trains I might miss on only one trip.  But having only one life to live and only one trip to be able to afford, these video's did the job for me.  To be able to track the area I will visit as to which mode of travel I should take was accomplished by having these great tools. Australia is so vast that one needs to plan carefully to see an area well.  The train travel experience is well understood after watching these lovely video's. Once again having these video's in ones library is like having a vacation in a bottle. You can take the trip anytime you want to with your VCR. Great for train buffs and anyone who wants a relaxing viewing experience. Let the kids get an education and not even leave the house. Glad I invested these will be a joy in my home for years to come!"
