Like many of the early explorers and settlers who pushed their way into Australia's centre marvelling alternately at the grandeur and then the utter desolation Ted Egan is captivated by the Centre. This journey through Central Australia begins by looking at the country from the early European adventurer's viewpoint and compares their attitude and capacity to exist with the desert aborigines. We will see Lake Eyre full with water and an abundance of birdlife something that has happened only a couple of times last century. Ted's journey takes us over the brilliant red... McDonnell Ranges in a hot air balloon and then through the picturesque gorges that cut through the mountains. At Uluru (Ayres Rock) he encounters a thunder storm. He then flys over Katajuta (The Olgas) and circles nearby Mt. Connor which he calls the forgotten mountain and ends up viewing what every tourist comes to see a brilliantly colourful sunset at Ayres Rock. Chapters Comprise: 1. Introduction 2. Mintabi 3.

Uluru Bonus Program - This Land Australia With Ted Egan: Mysterious Australia This film journeys through the puzzles that nature used as it designed and shaped the Australian continent. The story criss-crosses the continent discovering the world's oldest living organisms and how sea fossils three hundred million years old came to be on mountain tops hundred kilometres from the ocean. We will see how a comet from beyond the stars struck the earth a hundred million years ago with the force of two hundred thousand atom bombs. And we'll learn how Australia's animals developed into unique species found nowhere else on the planet. The passage of time and power of the elements have levelled mountains once as high as the Himalayas and made others to look like ancient cities preserved in stone. These puzzles of nature have created Mysterious Australia. Chapters Comprise: 1. Introduction 2. Bungle Bungles 3. Flinders Ranges 4. From The Air 5. Animals 6. Dried Lake [show more]
