"Exotic, weird and beautiful: giant screen film travels through the Land Down Under. " |
|
| Australia: Land Beyond Time is a breathtaking journey through the exotic, surreal and dramatic natural environment of Australia. With its endless coastline and vast expanses of parched, sandy desert, this continent harbors unique habitats and striking scenery. Movie-goers |
|
| will watch kangaroos bound larger than life across the Museum's 40-foot dome. The giant screen brings to life koalas, burrowing mice, thorny devils, platypus, giant lizards and an assortment of fish, frogs, birds and dingoes-with survival skills that surpass any TV reality show. |

|
The film explores the continent's incredible landscape and its inhabitants' amazing ability to adapt, overcome and even flourish in the most threatening and tumultuous of conditions. The didgeridoo sounds throughout the score and narration is by Alex Scott, a well-known Australian Shakespearean actor. |

Australia: Land Beyond Time is produced by Living Pictures (Australia) Pty Limited, in collaboration with the Houston Museum of Natural Science; Museum of Science, Boston; Cincinnati Museum Center; Denver Museum of Nature & Science; and the Museum of Science, Museum Victoria (Australia). |
