From Ancient Rainforests to Desert Dunes: Queensland's Wild Northeast
In short: Explore the vast ecological diversity of Australia's northeastern state. This documentary captures a journey through prehistoric landscapes, from the Daintree's ancient rainforests to the rugged Gulf Savannah.
The expedition traverses diverse biomes, including the Daintree rainforest—home to the Southern Cassowary and Saltwater Crocodiles—and the arid sand dunes of the Simpson Desert. The footage captures unique wildlife such as the Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo and the Platypus in the Atherton Tableland, as well as Koalas and Allied Rock Wallabies on Magnetic Island.
The journey also highlights geological wonders in the Gulf Savannah and the Border Ranges, where viewers can see relics of the past like Antarctic Beech Trees and Lamington Spiny Crayfish. A notable biological distinction is made regarding marsupials: while Tree Kangaroos possess pouches, not all marsupials do, specifically excluding species like Numbats and Antechinus.
