Jan 4, 2013 - Do we need all the do-gooder multi-cultural crap. Only closet racists need to focus on that garbage. Give everyone a break from that tired line of feel good, enlightened, zircon rubbing, rubbish please. Thanks.

Jan 12, 2012 - I really like this video. Some really stunning visuals. I just think if you are trying to create a tv show based on this idea, It needs a more concise interesting theme that can translate to multi-continental success.

Complete Half Hour Program - Meet the locals as the Overlander travels around Tasmania Travel Tasmania seeing it's top destinations through the eyes of the locals. Stories include: Rob Pennicott and his artist wife Michaye live an idyllic family life on Bruny Island. Surrounded by nature and a bountiful sea, Bruny appears to be paradise, but as Rob suggests, may not be for everyone. I also discuss the sad history of Truganini, the last full blooded Tasmanian Aborigine. In Hobart I interview Sudanese musician Ajak Kwai about her experience living in Tasmania. Formation of the Australian Greens Political Party. I take a flight to the South West Wilderness area of Tasmania, learning about Critchley Parker Junior, an ill fated explorer who hoped to form a new Jewish State in the region. I also interview Senator Bob Brown, leader of the world's first Greens Political Party. This action packed video is three stories packed into one. First I feature archival footage from the seminal Franklin River campaign, then I investigate the Facial Tumor Disease effecting the wild Tasmanian Devil Population, and finally I do a story on Port Arthur, an historic convict colony where I interview guide Laura Leeworthy, do their ghost tour and film a Ghost!! Fishing for Trout in Tasmania offers anglers some of the most remote Lake Fishing in the world. I interview Janice Spencer about the Land of 3,000 Lakes. Janice was the first female angler ever accepted for an Australian competition Fly Fishing Team. Tasmania has some of the biggest cold water surf breaks in the world. I visit Marrawah on the north west corner, a location renowned for it's year round surf. I interview 16 yr old local Zak Grey. Cruising the winding roads of Tasmania on a Harley Davidson with Simon Richardson. Simon owns the Launceston Harley Davidson Dealership and believes Tasmania offers bikers great touring opportunities, with mountainous roads and free camping. I also visit Stanley, Tasmania's Best Town. Simon rides a 1980 Shovelhead Harley Trike. For my last Tasmania story I visited Campbelltown's sombre convict brick display and then interviewed an Irish Woman in the Town of National Park, near the Mt Field National Park. Trish Rawlins believes Tasmania is like Ireland before it lost all it's trees. IF YOU LIKE THE PROGRAM PLEASE RATE IT AND LEAVE ME A COMMENT, LOVED TO HEAR FROM YOU - MARK Less
