The wildlife adventure film
From the majestic dignity of the elephant to the engaging antics of a honey badger cub.
Jamie Uys has captured the lives of the animals of south west Africa in fascinating detail. In order to film his 'beautiful people' - the wildlife of this huge region - he travelled more than 100,000 miles from the red desert of the Namib - which supports a vast variety of animals - to the vast area of the Kalahari and the lush banks of the Kovango river. Narrator Paddy O'Byrne Produced, filmed and directed by JAMIE UYS

On the death of her first husband, Louis XII of France, she returned to England and was married to Charles Brandon , Duke of Suffolk.

Cockatoos at Three Springs Galahs, perhaps the most celebrated of outback parrots, have been described as 'lovely things that, in a flash, wheel as though created out of thin air and sunset colours,' or as 'birds a bushman loves to hate'. To cook one, they joke, 'boil it with a boot, mate, and eat the boot!'
The real lives of cockatoos are noisy and intriguingly social. But, as woodlands vanish, the major mitchells, corellas and others, including galahs, face persecution by wheat farmers and kidnapping by smugglers. In fact, the cockies can be beneficial in the fields, but with fewer places to live they face a bleak future, perhaps only as pets with a price on their elegant heads.
