Brushtail possums are one of the few marsupials that have adapted well to life in the suburbs of Australian cities. They sleep quietly through the day in trees and roofs and it's only at night that they come out to find food wherever they can. But possums are not always precious, and they're certainly not in New Zealand.
On a spring night, a spawning of coral takes place on the largest coral reef in the world - the Great Barrier Reef off the north-eastern coast of Australia.
The reef plays host to the greatest diversity of plant and animal life.
There are more lizards in Australia than any other continent on earth and most of these are found in Australia's lizard capital - the spinifex sandplains of the arid Centre.
The film follows Australia's most recognised and widespread tree, the River Red Gum, through a season of its 400 year life. It documents its battle with its attackers: squadrons of insects and animals which are eating the tree alive.
