Discover the world, one person at a time…Discovery Atlas! Take an epic adventure with intimate insight into the big, bold and tenacious country of Australia. Step into one of the world's oldest cultures, drive the world's biggest trucks and join a cattle roundup on the world's largest ranch on one of the earth's youngest nations. Spanning over 4 million miles with over 22,000 miles of coastline, Australia is a captivating mix of desolation and riches, from the harsh life of the outback to the welcoming, fertile lands of its coastline. Deeply rooted to the land that offers them so much, Australians are survivors as they've faced some of the driest conditions worldwide. Hear the stories of its spirited people, including Aboriginal performers who trace their ancestry back to the land, a lifesaver who can't imagine an existence without the ocean and a jillaroo who could never be fenced in.

G'day!
Stunning pictue quality on Blu-Ray. It was simply amazing using my Panasonic High Definition projector, blown up to 106" diagonal. However, like many otherwise fine documentaries (ie Plant Earth), it sometimes lingers far too long on one subject. Personally, I can only handle so much sheep shearing or aboriginal dancing. "Keep the action moving" should be the rule in these types of documentaries.

Discovery Atlas: Australia revealed
This is a true work of cinematic art. I saw my own country in a new light. Fabulous. Made me home sick for the simple life. If your planning a trip to Australia any time soon........this is a must see. As we aussie's say....G'DAY MATE. and welcome home.

Horrible Narrator
Guys, dont waste your time with this video. I have China, Brasil and Italy Discovery Channel and BY FAR...this is the worst one (I highly recommend the others!)

Basically you can't hear the narrator. Crowe's voice is TOO low and its impossible to listen too. My girlfriend asked to turn on the "subtitle" function because it was sooo bad.....we both fell asleep within 10 mins. (Its doesnt support subtitle features)

Again, don't purchase this series (Australia). HORRIBLE AUDIO!

Amazing. Simply Amazing.
It is a shame that there are people who don't bother to READ what these documentaries are about BEFORE they buy them and are disappointed.

The oft-stated aim of Discovery Atlas is not a history lesson ... it is a unique look at countries through the eyes and personal stories of a select group of individuals.

What better ways to learn the true feelings and emotions than by this manner.

Exquisitely shot, wonderfully narrated, these videos provide a unique look into each of these nations that one would not otherwise EVER be party to.

Good images boring story
I bought the Italy, China and Ausatralia ATLAS from discovery. This one is kind of boring. I think the stories told are very weak. Anyway it shows good images in HD. The other two are much better.
