I was really looking forward to watching this DVD on the land down under, what a disappointment. The film footage is incredibly weak, so dated it seems to have been made in the early 80's. The quality is also poor, with the picture being so grainy I wish I would have bought the video over the DVD so I wouldnt feel as bad about wasting the money. The content overall is mediocre but it was mostly like watching a bad commercial, doing no justice to an amazing country.

The material is old and the sections are very short. It's helpful to see some basic footage of each area but it's worthless for trip planning or meaningful information.

Fascinating - If you've ever thought of immigrating to Australia, this dvd will give you some great insight to the wonderful world of Oz. It's very hard to find good destination guides - this is one is a find!

not enough time spent on viewing places before changing to next place more like watching a slide could not reccomend have given 3 for picture and sound quality only but thank byou for your excellent service

AUSTRALIA THE BEAUTIFUL
DISCOVERING AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA - THE LAND BEYOND TIME

These movies are all informative, and Australia itself is of course gorgeous. Some people seem to think the only things in Australia are kangaroos, koalas, Aborigines, Crocodile Dundee, and Steve Irwin feeding his baby to the crocodiles. Students in China will ask you "What is the weather like in Australia?" as if a country roughly the size of China or the USA has the same weather from east to west and north to south. These films will show you otherwise, but it is annoying that I can't find a single DVD about Australia made by Australians. These are distinctly American, even though the third has a British narrator.
