Australia Nature Documentary 4K | K’gari (Fraser Island) | Wildlife and Natural History

Off Queensland's eastern coast, 250km North of Brisbane is the island of K’Gari (formerly Fraser Island), the largest sand island on earth. K’gari is a spectacular natural wonderland.
In this documentary we explore K’gari’s diverse landscapes, from crystal lakes to towering rainforests to sprawling sand-blows and everything in-between. We learn about the forces of nature that have created and continue to shape K’gari today. We meet many of its natural inhabitants, including Dingoes, Monitor Lizards, Pythons and turtles along with resident bird species. We also meet marine mammals including Humpback Whales, Dolphins and Dugongs.
If you have a love and fascination for the natural world then we are certain you will enjoy this documentary.

Always an immersive experience, the phenomenal talents of Phil Selmes never fail to feed the viewer with not only an educational involvement but also, a visual feast of Australia's and indeed, natures incredible and unique ability, to continue to evolve and thrive under astonishing and seemingly unlikely circumstances. "K'gari" is yet another superb documentary, once more beautifully filmed and researched, sewn together into a story-tellers tapestry. Culminated with the magnificent vocal tones of narrator, Steve Chambers, once more Phil delivers impressions and insights with maturity, suaveness and sophistication. Another documentary to be proud of, it is an adventure into Australia's individuality combining truth and beauty through the eye of an artist.

My wonderful friend Grant, so great to hear from you again buddy. As always your comments blow me away, thank you for your kindness and support. These projects are a labour of love, knowing that my wonderful followers enjoy watching is all the motivation I need to continue on this journey. Thank you again my friend for your support over the years, I'm already well into my next production which I hope to have out within a few months. Take care, stay safe, cheers Phil

10 out of 10. Perfectly done. It is an amazing place and you have brought it to life for those who haven't been there. I love the detail, the science, and the scenery without the people in it...... remarkable.

After a stopover in Sidney to Vanuatu and having time to visit the Blue mountains and walk the gorge to the bottom which was amazing I found the whole series to be most enjoyable and worth the time.. It is the kind of series that anyone going to visit Oz should watch with a viewpoint of visiting some of these sights. For myself having watched other series like Bush Tuker Man and Outback Rangers Oz definitely has much to offer the wildlife visitor. So Thanks.

This was awesome. There are plenty of Fraser Island KZbin videos out there, but this one was a step above. Exceedingly professional, and I thought it was awesome that it was more about the island itself and the ecological system rather than just the amazing the 4wd'ing. I love a good Fraser 4wd video, but I learnt way more in this video about K'Gari than I have ever learnt about this island. Awesome work.
