A Documentary on the beautiful birds and wildlife of Tasmania’s wilderness areas.

Includes rare footage of the endemic Scrubtit and many other species of the Apple isle.

This short documentary documents our recent trip to Tasmania. My ambition was to find and film as many bird and mammal species as possible and our time here did not disappoint.

My original intention was to make a short film about the charismatic and endemic Scrubtit but as the timeline developed, I decided to add a splash of other species into the documentary.

Our journey takes us through pristine habitats, searching for the incredibly diverse birds and Mammals of Tasmania. The forests are delightful and present as a storybook with Tree ferns and moss covered logs.

Tasmania is also home to a number of endemic bird species that cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

Eventually, our 3 week adventure will be documented in a 3 part series covering an impressive array of species and of course the wonderful habitats that they live.

Please comment and let me know what you think.

This is the sort of work that should be on public TV.

Thanks for the olive whistler footage.
You are dead right. I've been listening to them for years but never knew what it was.

What a beautiful documentation of our wonderful state, well done! I very much enjoyed putting a few faces to the songs :))

[AndyM...]

Fantastic work, lots of hours gone into this, I know how much it takes to not only locate but to film target species. Nicely done !!!!

[TimSiggs]

I am going to remove this as it has rendered in 1080 despite showing 4k.

Absolutely stunning. I live in Canada, was born and spent childhood in NZ. Loved the bush in this. The birds are different, yet some are very similar. I've never been to Australia despite living so close (but that was many decades ago when people did not buzz around the globe like they do now). Thank you for this video. Gorgeous.

So beautiful, I really want to go to Tassie one day. You are an amazing cinematographer, no doubt national geographic worthy.
