Animals of Australia (Captioned)

Australian animals are as varied as the continent itself- from the red kangaroos of the inland to the platypus of the eastern highlands. This documentary contains original footage by nature photographer David Corke, together with extracts from some of the best known Australian films such as “Birth of the Red Kangaroo”, “The Echidna”, “The Lyrebird and the Fairy Penguins”.
