Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
About the rough, sparsely populated northern regions of Australia. After a map of Australia is shown we see some of the coral reefs. A primitive boat approaches with natives whose bodies are decorated with unusual scars. Natives hunt a double nosed shark. They capture a dugong or sea cow. Native rides on the back of a huge tortoise. Hundreds of tortoises which have come up on the beach each night rush back into the sea when morning comes. Natives hunt for and eat turtle eggs. We see many small animals running on the beach. A native climbs a cliff to an eagle's nest. Other natives are seen throwing wooden spears great distances. We see a native corroboree
