This National Geographic
Society film explores Australia, which 50 million years ago broke away from the landmass of Antarctica to become the largest island and smallest continent. In isolation, unique animal life developed. The camera peers into a mysterious world of lyrebirds, wombats, kangaroos, koalas, flying possums, fearsome lizards, vicious Tasmanian Devils and, perhaps oddest of them all, the fur-covered, duck-billed, web-footed platypus.
