Editorial Review:
Discover the world, one person at a time…Discovery Atlas! Take an epic adventure with intimate insight into the big, bold and tenacious country of Australia. Step into one of the world's oldest cultures, drive the world's biggest trucks and join a cattle roundup on the world's largest ranch on one of the earth's youngest nations. Spanning over 4 million miles with over 22,000 miles of coastline, Australia is a captivating mix of desolation and riches, from the harsh life of the outback to the welcoming, fertile lands of its coastline. Deeply rooted to the land that offers them so much, Australians are survivors as they've faced some of the driest conditions worldwide. Hear the stories of its spirited people, including Aboriginal performers who trace their ancestry back to the land, a lifesaver who can't imagine an existence without the ocean and a jillaroo who could never be fenced in.
Discovery Atlas: Australia Revealed [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Australia, the Land Down Under 
2009-10-25 - I really fascinated with the animals, the people, the culture and the places of the land of Australia! I like Russell Crowe, a New Zealander and Australian actor, who narrates this documentary.
Meh 
2009-03-21 - It was ok. I was hoping to see more images of australias landscape. That is the main reason I got a blu-ray player in the first place so I could see beautiful images of earth and such, not images of dirty aborigines and ugly tanker ships. (I have nothing against aborigines though)
Discovery Makes Poor Films 
2009-01-06 - This is our second documentary by Discovery, and our second disappointment.
The graphics were crisp and colorful which is why we got this in Blu, but the content and story were nothing but common and boring.
Awesome 
2008-12-31 - This is a truly inspiring film... the entire series is a must have for your collection.
G'day! 
2008-05-28 - Stunning pictue quality on Blu-Ray. It was simply amazing using my Panasonic High Definition projector, blown up to 106" diagonal. However, like many otherwise fine documentaries (ie Plant Earth), it sometimes lingers far too long on one subject. Personally, I can only handle so much sheep shearing or aboriginal dancing. "Keep the action moving" should be the rule in these types of documentaries.
