Wild Down Under DVD

Australia is like no other continent on Earth. Isolated from the rest of the world for a staggering 45 million years this enormous island contains a breathtaking array of distinctive and bizarre species. As well as wombats and wallabies kookaburras and koalas there are mammals that can lay eggs, huge birds that can't fly and possums that can, and a greater concentration of deadly reptiles and venomous snakes than anywhere else.This is a world apart - a parched sunburnt country, the flattest and driest inhabited continent on earth and yet it has spawned a range of lush islands each with widelife stranger than the next. And to add to the mix, human invaders settled - with dingoes, rabbits, cane toads, feral horses and a range of cultures and traditions that impacted on the widelife like nowhere else. Wild Down Under is an epic journey of exploration - an investigation of the natural wonders of Australia and its closest islands. From the tropical jungle to the vast shallow coral reefs; from burning deserts to snowy mountains; from temperate forests to tiny offshore islands, this series reveals how the continent was transformed from a lush green wilderness into a thriving developed nation with a vast desert at its heart.
