This DVD takes you on an outback odyssey as we travel north through the worldĄŻs largest rocket launching site at Woomera once cloaked in secrecy. We continue onto the famous mining town of Roxby Downs and then Andamooka, home to the most precious Opal in the world before reaching Marree, our starting point along the notorious Birdsville Track and beyond.
Back in the 1800s the courage and determination of our pioneering stockmen is now an important part of Australian history. They thought very little of droving cattle in their thousands from northern Queensland to the sale yards in the south. This harsh unforgiving land is where cattle have died en route and stockmen have sometimes died along with them.
Today just a little further north we witness birdlife's response to climate change and transport you among the largest breeding colony of Pelicans ever recorded.
