Norway is a big country with a small population. But the Norwegians have engineered a rail network through the uncompromising landscape with great commitment, and have become a world authority on tunnelling in the process! We explore the 3,000 mile network from Halden on the Swedish border in the south to Bodo in the north, from Bergen on the western fjord coast to Edisvol in the east. We spend time in Oslo, but mostly we escape the capital and roam the rails in the provinces. In Norway you.

It's a town like no other in Australia. A mix of gracious old colonial bungalows as well as modern architecture. Broome's Asian connection goes back to its beginning. Descendants of Japanese pearl divers rub shoulders on the streets with Aboriginal desert people and Chinese restaurateurs in this most multicultural society. While the pearl was the ultimate prize the mother-of-pearl shell was the real reason that the industry got going in the first place. It was used to manufacture buttons and to inlay into jewellery and fine furniture. Ted's story traces Broome from the days of hard hat pearl diving from wooden luggers to modern giant pearling boats and cultured pearl farming. These days pearl farming tourism and coastal surveillance are important activities carried on at Broome.

Likened to a DNA strip of New York City, the street has ranged from the glamorous to the derelict, housing everything from peep shows to such international institutions as the United Nations.The documentary is an exploration of the street's expansion from the farmland where Washington bivouacked his troops to the flashy, commercial center that it is today.
