Over Australia - Season 1 episodes (2)

1 Surviving the Arid Heart
8/4/21
The arid interior of Australia is a vast, epic landscape, full of iconic images and creative creatures that somehow find a way to survive the continent's scorching dry season. Join us on an exploration that combines soaring aerial images over timeless lands with intimate stories of the creatures who call it home, from a python that uses its head as a "solar panel" to the thorny devil that uses its skin to collect moisture to the red kangaroo that uses its springy tendons to save energy with each hop.
2 The Great Divide
8/11/21
Along Australia's entire eastern coast is an extraordinary wall of rock known as the Great Divide. Running 2,300 miles, this massive range runs from the icy mountains of Tasmania, through the regal forests of the Central Highlands, past volcanic monuments, all the way north to the most ancient of rainforests. Its diverse landscape is matched by the wide variety of creatures who live here: fierce devils, ancient giants, and silent killers that have evolved remarkable adaptations over millions of years to survive and thrive in these mountains.

About this show

Australia is the oldest, flattest, driest inhabited continent on Earth. It's a vast landscape, shaped by epic forces that-over 180 million years-have divided it into two worlds: an arid interior covering 70% of the terrain, and a lush haven of mountain ranges spanning the entire eastern coast. Occupying this land of extremes are some of the most unique and resilient creatures on the planet: marsupials, mammals, and insects that have evolved and adapted to thrive inside Australia's arid heart and along its Great Dividing Range.
