Australia: The Big Picture (cc)

<BODY> <h2>Australia: The Big Picture (cc)</h2><br> Australia is the largest, flattest, driest island in the world, which has been surrounded by the oceans for forty million years; however, away from its fertile coasts, rain clouds seldom penetrate. It is a continent apart, where evolution has worked in isolation, and most of its inhabitants can be found nowhere else on earth. With spectacular photography this documentary takes us through the different regions of Australia to view the breadth of the landscape and the intimate lives of its unique animals, including the many types of Kangaroo or Wallaby, the Bilby or Bandicoot, the Saltwater Crocodile, the Koala, the Echidna or Anteater, the Platypus, the Green Tree Python, Little Red Flying Foxes, and birds such Rosellas, Lorikeets, Parrots, Cockatoos, Avocets and Pelicans.
