wildlife in bushland part 1 a 1942 australian nature film about the Healesville Sanctuary
In the midst of world war 2 the tourist bureau of the state of Victoria australia decided to promote The Healesville Sanctuary. Who would visit?... well US servicemen on leave did go to the Sanctuary.....and maybe the thinking was the war would soon finish and the tourists would come. The film is a classic as it was made in 1942 and made in colour...narration is by John Dease, australias most beautiful voice at the time. Music was orchestrated and recorded along with the narration in Sydney. David Fleay, my father directed the sanctuary during the war years and for a short time after the second world war......he was nature's gentleman! This is part 1......and you'll soon find part 2 under favenchi on YouTube.

Gold Coast Travel Guide - An Australian Paradise
Gold Coast Travel Guide - An Australian Paradise
The Gold Coast is a coastal city in the southeast corner of the state of Queensland in Australia, located between the state capital of Brisbane to the north and the New South Wales state border to the south. The Gold Coast has long been a high-profile tourist destination for Australians and overseas travelers, with Surfers Paradise being the hub of tourist activity.
The Gold Coast, that visitors are more familiar with, stretches along the coastal suburbs from Paradise Point to Tweed Heads (about 35km). Surfers Paradise, towards the northern end, is the hub of the leisure activity. The Gold Coast Hinterland is the largely rural area away from the coast. It begins west of the Pacific Motorway, and consists of mountain ranges covered with rainforest, much of which is national parks.
Districts or Suburbs :
Paradise Point, Hollywell, Runaway Bay and Labrador - northern suburbs, largely residential.
Southport - The commercial centre with shops, hospitals, business, industry and government offices.
Main Beach - An upmarket suburb with high-rises and resorts.
Surfers Paradise - The most commercialised tourist suburb, with the highest concentration of accommodation and attractions.
Broadbeach - The second busiest tourist suburb and quieter than Surfers Paradise. It has a casino, 2 shopping complexes and many restaurants and highrises.
Mermaid Beach and Miami - Largely low-rise residential suburbs with motels and restaurants along the highway.
Burleigh Heads - Numerous highrise apartment buildings and a small commercial area. The beaches are popular with surfers and families.
Palm Beach - Largely residential area.
Currumbin, Tugun and Bilinga - Largely residential area dotted with apartments, popular with families and locals. Convenient to the airport and motorway.
Kirra, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads - The southern end has several high-rise apartments with a small, but popular, shopping and entertainment area.
The Gold Coast has a mild, sub-tropical climate, with consistent temperatures year-round, with an average high of 29 degrees C in January and 21 degrees in July. The winter months tend to have little rainfall, while the summer has frequent storms originating from the west.
There are well over 30 beaches stretching a total of 40km. Almost all are patrolled by volunteer and professional lifesavers. The patrolled areas are marked by red and yellow flags. Signs on the beaches will show you the closest patrolled beaches at any particular time of year. Broadbeach is about 3km (40 minutes walk, 5 minute drive) south of Surfers Paradise and usually has the same surf conditions as Surfers Paradise. The upside, however, is that it's not that far away and nowhere near as busy as Surfers. Just in from the beach is Kurrawa Park, a shopping centre full of cafes, restaurants, and Jupiters Casino. North Burleigh is a further 4km down from Broadbeach (over a small hill). It's generally less popular than its bigger brother, Burleigh Heads, but a good place to go if there are winds blowing from the north, as the hill provides a bit of protection. Burleigh Heads is only 2km south of North Burleigh and a nice beach with a large park and a hill that is good for picnics. There are cafes surrounding the beach and the hill cover means that this beach is usually pretty nice when the winds are blowing from the south.

Most Popular Family Holiday Destination Tourism Hot Spot
The Gold Coast Australia, a true gem in Queensland tourism holiday destination portfolio. So what makes the Gold Coast so special? Well let me see could it be kilometres of sun drenched beaches, or could it be the magnificent hinterland regions of Tamborine Mountain and Springbrook? or maybe the vibrant nighlife for all the party goers, but then again it might just be the fabulous theme parks for the young at heart.
Just mention the Gold Coast and the imagination starts to visualise images of stunning surfing and swimming beaches, the exciting Gold Coast theme parks including Dreamworld, Sea World, Movie World, Wet n Wild or Australian Outback Spectacular, sophisticated style, cosmopolitan dining, great shopping and the list continues. It's a place where you can let loose but still feel free, The Gold Coast truly offers something for everyone: if beaches and an exciting nightlife aren't your thing, you can always explore the Hinterland regions of Tamborine Mountain.
And with so many great accommodation options on offer for the whole family you can find a Gold Coast hotel, resort or apartment with ease and with so many great properties you can always secure a great deal on Gold Coast Accommodation all year round.
Surfers Paradise is ideal for the younger generations whilst most families tend to choose to stay in Broadbaeach, Burleigh Heads or even Coolangatta. These days Coolangatta offers some really nice family resorts to choose from.
If you are looking for a romantic place to stay head up the montain to Lisson Grove or the Castle on Tamborine. The Castle on Tamborine is an authentic replica of a true castle with two resident wings seperated by a day spa. The Castle on Tamborine is rated as Tamborine Mountains finest luxury accommodation and it is not hard to see why both Castles feature indoor heated plunge pools, fire places, surround sound cinemas, and fully self contained quarters fit for any King and his Queen.
Another fabulous place to visit and stay is O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat and Day Spa a true hinteralnd retreat. O'Reilly's is famous for Bird Watching, bushwalking and hinterland weddings as well a the perfect location to relax unwind and recover form the day to day hectic pace we all fall victim to so often.
