Tasmania: Australia's Awakening Island

Mel Gibson narrates this film voyage to under Downunder: the island of Tasmania. In the temperate sea, kelp forests nurture the fascinating, stick-thin Tasmanian sea dragon. On land, Tasmanian devils refute their reputation for ferocity. Mutton birds, who migrate an astonishing 18,000 miles a year, are prey for tiger snakes. And contemporary Tasmanians awakened to the duty of environmental stewardship challenge the logging industry that has devastated much of their island's beauty.
