Tasmania, Australia
Recorded January 4-9, 2007
My six night stay in the Australian state of Tasmania. I base my stay in the capital city of Hobart where I drive to the top of Mount Wellington. From Hobart I take several day-trips. My first day trip was a scenic boat ride to the historic penal colony, Port Arthur. My next excursion was into the Huon Valley where I took a jet boat trip on the Huon River and visited the Tahune Forest Airwalk. Next was a scenic boat ride around Bruny Island. The final excursion was a scenic airplane flight to the Southwest World Heritage National Park where I took a boat ride around Bathurst Harbour. The video concludes with a visit to Mount Field National Park.

Stunning never-before-seen drone footage of Kata Tjuta, the secret of the Red Centre
Watch this first ever drone footage of Kata Tjuta which was filmed with special permission from the Traditional Owners of the land and under permit from the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Consisting of 36 boulders spread over more than 20km (12.5 miles), Kata Tjuta rises 546m (1791ft) above the plains, some 200m higher than Uluru. This spectacular sight is deeply sacred under Tjukurpa (the religion, law and moral system of the local Aboriginal Anangu people), and this is why cultural stories are unknown and photos of it are relatively rare.
Australian National Parks
Welcome to a comprehensive guide to Australia's Greatest Natural Resource is Proudly edited by Alessandro Sorbello for New Realm Media
The wilderness can be part of our lives, if only for a few days each year, and nowhere else is it easier to realize that than in Australia. For Australia has one of the largest and greatest national park systems in the world, covering over 24 million hectares, with such diversity as lush rain forest to waterless desert.
Tasmania National Parks Ben Lomond National Park, Cradle Mountain, Douglas, Franklin, Mountfield, Western Australia National Parks feature Cape Arid, Cape Leeuwin, Dryandra, Ningaloo, Stirling, Tunnel Creek, Warren. Northern Territory National Parks include Charles Darwin, Elsey, King's Canyon, Litchfield, Mary River.

The outstanding natural and cultural values of our national parks have led to many being proclaimed World Heritage Area's. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come each year, to experience the wilderness, and to learn about the Aboriginal Dreamtime - something that little of us know anything about, and which is perhaps one of humanities greatest secrets.
This is Aboriginal land and you are welcome. Look around and learn, in order to understand Aboriginal people and also understand that Aboriginal culture is strong and alive.

Australia is the driest continent in the world and is part of a former giant land mass, Gondwana, which connected the southern continents of Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and South America, and broke up more than 100 million years ago.
More than 58 million hectares (ha) of protected areas cover about 7.55 per cent of Australia's continental land area. In addition to the national parks on the mainland, there are others located on Australia's external territories, including Norfolk Island (650 ha), Christmas Island (8952 ha), Pulu Keeling (2602 ha), Heard and McDonald Islands (1 138 260 ha) and the Australian Antarctic Territories (1 153 610 ha). With these areas included, a total of 60.4 million ha (7.85 per cent) of Australia's land area is protected.
Under the Australian Constitution, the creation and management of national parks and other nature conservation areas is the responsibility of State governments. However, 15 parks and reserves are administered by the federal government.
Queensland National Parks include the Fraser Island National Park, Glass House Mountains National Park, Whitsunday Islands National Park
Victoria National Parks indclude Alpine, Ironbark, Lake Eildon, Mitchell River, Mount Richmond, Snowy Mountains
Five hundred and sixteen national parks cover 3.42 per cent of the land surface (25.7 million ha) and are registered under federal and State legislation. In addition, more than 2700 designated conservation areas are found all over Australia and cover 3.57 per cent of the land surface. They include fauna and flora reserves, conservation parks, environment parks and Aboriginal areas as well as national parks. These too are protected by federal or State legislation.
There are also 145 marine protected areas, which cover almost 38 million ha. They range from Commonwealth Marine Parks, such as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, to fish habitat reserves, fish sanctuaries, aquatic reserves, conservation areas, marine parks and marine and coastal parks. Of these, the federal government has responsibility for 19 areas, New South Wales eight, the Northern Territory three, South Australia 15, Tasmania three, Victoria three, Western Australia 13 and Queensland 81.
Australia has 11 World Heritage properties, totalling 42.6 million ha. Each contains outstanding universal values. Most are also designated as national parks.

Mt Kaputar Glimpses - Giant Pink Slug Descending. Artist Anna Glynn & biologist Peter Dalmazzo
Artist Anna Glynn & biologist Peter Dalmazzo encounter the giant pink slug, revealing elements of the Snail and Slug Threatened Ecological Community atop Mt Kaputar, NSW, as part of the Art of the Threatened Species Project.
“We had hoped to encounter and record the slug. We were so lucky that the mist and rain lured them out for one brief morning when we had a chance to see them as they climbed trees, feeding on algae and leaving fabulous, patterned chewing trails on the trunks.”
This interdisciplinary team working with art and science spent an incredible time experiencing roiling storms, gale force winds, hail, swirling mist and bright sunshine atop Mt Kaputar, capturing the overwhelming landscape in video, time-lapse, photo and audio field recordings. Their focus, the Mt Kaputar Snail and Slug Threatened Ecological Community, includes all that is on the mountain top, embracing the complete ecosystem including the hero species which is a giant pink slug that occurs nowhere else in the world.

Exploring Mount Jerusalem On 2 Wheels
Dad jokes, dirt roads and adventure in an enchanted forest!
You'll have to trust me on the enchanted bit. :-p
The quest was to take a small dirt road through a small national park in Northern New South Wales, try to find an even smaller dirt road to explore and maybe come out the other side.
Did we succeed?

Suicide Forest in Japan (Full Documentary)
The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year.
The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently.

Alpine plant spectacular, wildflower trail, Mount Cope, Bogong High Plains, Victoria Australia
2018 the Australian alpine wild flowers on the Bogong High Plains on a walk to Mount Cope 1837m provided a most spectacular display. Immerse yourself in the Australian alpine landscape. This video is an exceptionally brilliant and emotional presentation of this ancient land. Originally these mountains would have been more than 5000m high. Today they have been eroded to about 2000m over a long period to provide the visitor with extensive grassy plains dissected with alpine woodlands and long distance views and relatively rounded mountain tops. On a clear day one can spot the Southern Ocean to the south. Camping is available in this national Park and there are many walking trails to suit all ages. So pack your lunch and take a water bottle be prepared for four season weather in the one day. Take your children and your friends. It is a good, easy and safe introduction to the Australian alpine landscapes. You will all love these mountains.
Australia Pink Slugs
It would seem to be something you'd see only in a cartoon or at a Phish concert, but according to park rangers in New South Wales, Australia, dozens of giant, fluorescent pink slugs have been popping up on a mountaintop there.
As bright pink as you can imagine, that's how pink they are, Michael Murphy, a ranger with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. On a good morning, you can walk around and see hundreds of them.
The eight-inch creatures have been spotted only on Mount Kaputar, a 5,000-foot peak in the Nandewar Range in northern New South Wales.
Scientists believe the eye-catching organisms are survivors from an era when Australia was home to rainforests. A series of volcanoes, millions of years of erosion and other geological changes have carved a dramatic landscape at Mount Kaputar, the park service wrote on its Facebook page, and unique arid conditions spared the slugs from extinction.
They probably would have long since vanished, if a volcano had not erupted at Mount Kaputar about 17 million years ago, Ben Cubby wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald. The result of that eruption is a high-altitude haven for invertebrates and plant species that have been isolated for millions of years, after Australia dried out and the rainforests receded.
And they're not the only unusual inhabitants on the mountain.
We've actually got three species of cannibal snail on Mount Kaputar, and they're voracious little fellas, Murphy said. They hunt around on the forest floor to pick up the slime trail of another snail, then hunt it down and gobble it up.
