KAKADU
- a vast wilderness ruled by lightning and fire, by drought and
flood - is the scene of this enchanting tale of a blue-winged
kookaburra, the youngest of three nestlings, struggling against
the odds to join his parents' dynasty.
Deadly
crocodiles, playful parrots, kangaroos and frill-necked
lizards - the lives of some of Australia's most-loved and most-feared
animals are woven together in this multi-award-winning film. The
result of 8 years' work by zoologist and film-maker David Curl,
this film provides an intimate yet spectacular glimpse of Kakadu
as few will ever see it.
