What it’s about. Of all continents on Earth, none preserve the story of the formation of our planet and the evolution of life quite like Australia.

Over four one-hour episodes, we meet titanic dinosaurs and giant kangaroos, sea monsters and prehistoric crustaceans, disappearing mountains and exploding asteroids. Epic in scope, intimate in nature, this is the untold story of the land Down Under, the one island continent that has got it all.
