Virtual Walkabout?


Get away from it all! The environmentally friendly way to experience some of the World's most beautiful nature trails.

These multimedia artworks recreate nature walks for viewers as streaming slideshows, featuring hundreds of photographs, accompanied by the wonderful melodies and ongoing urging sound of the didjeribone (slide didjeridu) and Face Bass performed by tjupurru.

The collection so far visually documents walking tracks in selected Australian National Parks and Nature Reserves, including many amazing walks through World Heritage areas. Often narrow trails traverse very sensitive and fragile areas. Viewers are strongly discouraged from physically visiting these off-the-beaten-track areas themselves, thereby exerting further pressure on them. Hopefully many folk will be satisified with an environmentally friendly Virtual Walkabout, especially one free of sunburn, rain, annoying flies, biting midges, blood-sucking leeches, parasitic ticks, poisonous snakes and spiders and stinging trees. I had all that fun!

Uses:

A Virtual Walkabout is an experience that both the ‘in form’ and infirm can enjoy in a number of ways

To Preview:

I always stream one of my walks live over a video server so if you want to experience a long walk while online point your browser to

West Canungra Creek Track
(Lamington National Park, QLD)

EPA Park Alert! (June 2008) - It is safe to walk to the Pool and back, but you can't go further as there has been a few landslides and it is unsafe for the time being. See it all in the Virtual Walkabout.


This very steep track leaves the Border Track near Green Mountains and descends past placid Darraboola Falls and some magnificent red cedar trees to Yerralahla (or blue Pool) on West Canungra Creek.

Follow the creek upstream through lush subtropical rainforest, cross Bundoomba Creek, then rock-hop over numerous crossings of Cunungra Creek. Discover Kalgamahla, Goondaree and Yanbacoochie Falls before meeting the end of the Box Forest Track. Continue on to Tollerigumai or Box Log Falls before venturing a little further to the magnificent Elabana Falls and Picnic Rock.

Both Box Forest Track and Toolona Creek Track (featured on other DVDs in the Lamington National Park series) branch off at junctions in this region of the West Canungra Creek Track.

Important Note: These top quality Virtual Walkabout DVDs have been produced by Duplication wherein content is burnt on to DVD-R media. DVD-R media works fine with almost all new DVD players, but some older models may have trouble. Replication is the traditional way to produce DVDs by pressing them from molten plastic. Replicated DVDs are compatible with all players, and are the type Hollywood studios produce. Replication is a high volume process however, so the minimum production run is usually 1000 or more discs per title.
