award-winning film

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.

the BBC and Thirteen/WNET
