  Australia: The Time Traveller's Guide with Dr Richard Smith, ABC,
  Australia

Buckle up for a rocky ride down the Road of Time with this new 
television documentary made by the renowned Australian journalist 
Richard Smith for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Of all continents on Earth, none preserve the story of the formation of 
our planet and the evolution of life quite like Australia. Nowhere else 
can you simply jump in a car and travel back through the entire history 
of the world. 'Australia: The Time Traveller's Guide' takes you on a 
rollicking adventure from the birth of the Earth to the emergence of the 
world we know today. Over four one-hour episodes, we meet titanic 
dinosaurs and giant kangaroos, sea monsters and prehistoric crustaceans, 
disappearing mountains and exploding asteroids.
Dr Richard Smith will introduce his experience in preparing this 
documentary and screen one of the episodes.

Dr Richard Smith began his professional career as a marine biologist in 
the wilds of North Queensland. Richard has since become a specialist in 
the one-hour television documentary. His latest production is Rumble in 
the Jungle <http://www.abc.net.au/quantum/rumble.htm>, a journey into 
the deepest, darkest Amazon jungle in search of a long lost meteor 
crater with a team of Brazilian scientists. His previous films include 
Black Holes <http://www.abc.net.au/science/slab/blackholes/story.htm>, 
50 Million Years under the Sea 
<http://www.abc.net.au/quantum/info/q96-13-1.htm>, Silent Sentinels 
<http://www.abc.net.au/science/coral/story.htm> and On Jupiter.
You are all invited to join.
