Wild Australia

screenable online: 5 episodes

A diverse and sometimes contradictory continent, Australia is filled with natural wonders. This five-part series takes viewers from the desert around Uluru to the dramatic southern plains, from the impenetrable jungles in the northeast of the country to the eucalyptus forests in eastern Australia.

In each episode, we discover the wildlife that has adapted to thrive even in extreme conditions. The mighty kangaroos in the fiery heart of the country, the quirky wombats living underground, snappy crocodiles in the swamps – and we discover that the koalas aren’t quite as cuddly as we’ve been led to believe.

Renowned wildlife filmmakers Thoralf Grospitz and Jens Westphalen traveled endless kilometers through the outback, using specialized macro- and super slow-motion HD cameras to portray the animal kingdom as you’ve never seen it before. This visually stunning portrait of wild Australia.
