[PROGRAM] 4 WHERE DID ALL THE ANIMALS COME FROM?
Australia was, until 38 million years ago, part of Gondwana, then drifted away
from Antarctica and lost geographical links with South America. It is now
drifting towards Asia. As a result, Australia's animals come from 4 different
sources when combined with those that arrived from the northern hemisphere with
Europeans.

[PROGRAM] 6. THE BURNING BUSH.
Copied under Part VA, Copyright Act 1968.
Off-air recording of ABC television broadcast 5/10/92.
Originally produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in association
with the University of New England.
Summary: Discusses the fire prone nature of Australia's vegetation, the reasons
for this, and the evolutionary responses of plants to fires. Fires are now
necessary for regeneration of most native plants. Without regular fires, forests
thicken and age and diminish in quality. Fire management techniques, including
selective logging, are therefore necessary.
