Surviving The Harsh Australian Outback | Australia's Wild Places

The Australian desert is home to some of the most deadly animals in the world. In this Real Wild documentary, we explore how animals live in the high heated Australian outback. The famous marsupial kangaroo along with lizards, camels, and wild horses are among these animals. We also see how the bush operates and struggles in the extreme heat, which often leads to uncontrollable fires. The Australian red desert is named this due to the rocks containing high amounts of iron. In this type of environment, these rocks actually begin to rust. As the rust expands, it weakens the rock and helps break it apart. The oxides produced through this process give the ground its reddish hue.

Why Did Britain Abolish Slavery in 1833? (Pt 2)

Why Did Britain Abolish Slavery in 1833? (Pt 2)' Documentary series exploring the abolition of Slavery in the British Dominions in 1833. In Episode 2 of this documentary series, Luke Tomes explores the gradual deterioration of the West India Interest, its power base weakened by political reform in the United Kingdom, a decline in the value of sugar and an inspired slave rebellion in Jamaica (1831/2) which unearthed the true nature of West Indian Colonists and demonstrated the instability of the institution. He also touches upon the agonising moral dilemma abolitionists faced on the subject of compensation; the financial remuneration planters received from the government as a form of repayment for their “lost property”. Presented by Luke Tomes. Featuring Dr Christer Petley.
