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.

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!"
