- Summary:
- Australia was once part of a super-continent and its deserts were covered in forests. Once joined to Antarctica, it split off and moved northwards into warmer climes, whilst Antarctica became an icy wasteland. Australia's move forced the life forms it supported to adapt and the evidence of this can still be found in its unique wildlife, some of which exist nowhere else on earth. Australia is part of the stunning BBC science documentary series Rise of the Continents. This episode looks at the development of Australia and the creation of it's unique natural habitats and indigenous creatures.
