Discovering Australia: The Tropical North (1995)

Let's go on safari to the Top End ... to the tropics ... to places that will recall dreams of paradise! It's all in "The Tropical North", from the magic of Kakadu and its magnificent wildlife to the splendours of the rainforest in places like Daintree, from the amazing undersea haven of the Great Barrier Reef to a modern Brisbane and its World Expo architecture. We'll also escort you on an outback cattle round-up ... watch the Flying Doctor Service in operation ... see Torres Strait Islander dancing ... go mining at Mt Isa ... view Aboriginal rock paintings ... and discover a host of other sites and activities.
