Description

Of all the continents on Earth, none preserves a more spectacular story of its origins than Australia. NOVA's mini-series takes viewers on a rollicking adventure from the birth of the Earth to the emergence of the world we know today. With help from high-energy host and scientist Richard Smith, we meet titanic dinosaurs and giant kangaroos, sea monsters and prehistoric crustaceans, disappearing mountains and deadly asteroids. This is the untold story of the Land Down Under, the one island continent that has got it all.

    What an amazing show! Exciting, informative, and not just focused on Australia's creation. This show displays the current understanding of our planet's creation (including human evolution) in a simplified visual way that most will find very interesting. Best of all, my children love it and want to learn more about the physical sciences after watching the first two episodes. Thank you for everyone involved in making this. It is a real gem!
