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. Mel Gibson narrates this film voyage to under Downunder: the island of Tasmania. Written by
