Australia's Red Heart
Episode 2 of 3
Series about European explorations of wildernesses looks at central Australia's deserts, seen as a place of death and silence by the first white explorers.
Australia's stark and beautiful red centre is now seen as part of the country's national identity, with Uluru, or Ayres Rock, a national symbol. But this vast desert centre was originally seen as a place of death and silence by the first white explorers. It has taken 200 years for a new perception to emerge, one that recognises it as a place of life and creation - the way it has always been seen by the continent's original inhabitants, the Aborigines.
