Episode of Series “Up a gum tree”.
David Bellamy celebrates Christmas in Australia. Instead of holly a banksia decorates his Christmas pudding, and, as the brandy burns, the plant provides clues to the secrets of survival of the Australian flora against the frequent fires which seek to destroy it. Narrated by David Bellamy.
