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, 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, 50 Million Years under the Sea, Silent Sentinels and On Jupiter.
You are all invited to join.
