great video, thank you for sharing 🙂 kudos!

Such a good host. I really appreciate a nature documentary that isn't just over-dramatic narration and music. Ray Mears just goes around admiring things and it's so enjoyable to watch.

Beautiful video, great sound quality. I love to be in the rainforest canopy, especially at night when many nocturnal animals come out to forage.

As a 1990s uk scout we deemed u as a legend! So happy to see u still truckin!

I've lived here 50 years and haven't yet seen the tree kangaroo in the wild. I really hope I do before I die, I've only seen two cassowaries in the wild, an astonishing animal.

Wonderful! As an English teacher, I love using such videos for vocabulary building and listening-understanding skills enhancement.

Congratulations to photographer Martin on the tree kangaroo video capture! It starts @15:56, but continues after that with spectacular video of this seldom photographed tree-dwelling kangaroo. What an awesome little creature! Well done, Sir!! @21:04 that little zebra-striped cassowary chick was so cute. When he holds still, he's very well camouflaged in that dappled light. I really love your documentaries. Thank you for these informative and enjoyable productions. You're one of my top 5 favorite channels. :^) I subscribe to many hundreds, perhaps even a couple thousand KZfaq channels. Your content is AWESOME, and I always learn something new from each one I watch. I'm really into ones like this that are about nature/animals/places.

You captured the beauty of this stretch of country very well ❤ an extremely special place

Thanks for sharing this great video and and with excellent host Ray Mears. I love to see more new video with Ray Mears as the host.

I was totally fascinated by this documentary... Wonderfully done!

This is a great video! I can imagine how earthy and clean the air is there. I can also imagine primordial peoples hunkering down among those buttresses, avoiding predators while hunting for their own foods. As for myself, I wouldn't survive a night in that forest because I simply don't know enough about it. Thanks for sharing!

What an absolutely amazing video!! Thank you!!!❤

Absolutely incredible and thank you for sharing this amazing video presentation with us. SIDE NOTE: I hope this slice of paradise is protected by Australian government 🇦🇺

The fan (or fern, as I can’t quite understand your accent hehe) palm..🥰 the 90degrees and the centuries it’s been growing and as you said has the tenacity to keep going and reaching up towards the light, this really encouraged me. Going through some trying things, so grateful to my beautiful plant friends and to you for sharing their encouragement and love and strength with me🥰🥰

Wonderfull docu👏👏👏💚Greetings from Costa Rica from one of the countries with the "newest rainforest"💚

Love this!!! Such a wonderful place. Lots of cool indigenous species to study. Thx a lot. ❤

So fascinating that this animals are so friendly with human. Love this documentary.

Great documentary, in 4k it would be even more impressive on the tele.

So beautiful i love jungle 👍🏻💚🌱🌴🌿🦋🌺

Super awesome video! Thanks!

To think I visited Queensland for months surfing back in the 80's and never knew about this. Fascinating!

Australia, my dream country 😢

Fabulous video!

Uncle Ray. Legend thanks for sharing.

Such an incredible land.

Amazing Australia 🇦🇺

😇💜 Thank YOU for sharing this adventure with us.🦎🌴🐍🤗

i love ray mears

Such a great adventure

I'm pretty sure the temperate rainforest of South western Tasmania are older, they date back to Gondwana land and have the oldest tree's on the planet.

Amazing!!

This is great! I am planning a trip there in November of 2023. I would like to hear from you with any tips on getting around, etc.

Your intro made me proud to be born here 💕☺️

Excellent!

That is OnE of the most AmazinG tree's I've ever seen And I've Seen allot of real cool tree's,,,, But the routes on that tree was impressive! tO say the very least. THANK YOU,, for this AmazinG Tour. I feel like I was right there with yoU.💞✌🏼😍

Hello Mate! I came across this episode a little late. But so glad I did. Compliments on your appreciation and wonder for the living Earth. I envy your work. (Ready for a career change) 😅 Keep ‘em’ coming sir!

Wooow😊❤ i love rainfarests . 🎉

SNAKES LOVE INSIDE OF TREES

amazing

.. seen a green ant for the first time 😊

to be honest, due to it's small size, I never thought that Australia has the oldest rainforest.

God created such amazing animals and trees in this rainforest! Incredible.

If you had asked a local they would have told you to go to Mission Beach or Etty Bay - both areas have cassowary’s and at Etty Bay you will see them everyday. Oh and even if you don’t disturb them they WILL attack you if they think you have food or are near their chicks. They have a very long nasty middle toe which will disembowel you. I get your doing a bit on rainforests but the rainforest meets the sea at Etty Bay.

I like tree buttresses and i cannot lie, no other brother can deny. Ray Mears walks in with an itty bity grin and a buttress in my face.

Hes really whispering in front of the Cassowary after just arriving on a quad bike

21:14 "It [cassowary] has a reputation for being aggressive - but like most animals, if you don't corner it, it will be fine". This is dangerously inadequate advice. Male cassowaries are _very_ territorial and potentially aggressive to humans during breeding season (usually June to October). If you happen to visit Queensland's wet tropics region as a tourist, keep a very respectful distance from cassowaries at all times. You can look, but _do not_ attempt to interact with them in any way. If you do attract their attention and they start walking your way, get behind a tree and out of the cassowary's sight. Cassowaries are naturally solitary animals (except for breeding season, they don't even associate with other cassowaries). So an approach by a cassowary is never a friendly gesture, it's their way of letting you know you need to get out of their territory.

It seems to me, that Ray is one of the Prima-Donna's who wants to have his face to be seen as often as possible. It spoils the otherwise fine photography.

I would have like to see some Wollemi pines. Perhaps there exist in a hidden corner of Northern Australia, a carnivorous kangaroo.

Wow, I just stumbled on this channel, and I will continue to keep an eye out for other video's. One of my biggest concerns is the fundraiser on the right. I don't know how anyone could support such things unless prof is given about how much really goes to the children you are scalping money for... Remember the "Own a piece of Scotland be a Lord", even if your last name is Wang, Fuch Do, or Vlad the Impaler...

I believe the growth rate of that species of fan palm was overstated by a bit. Absolutely slow growing at 1inch or 2-3centimeters of trunk height per year. Licuala ramsayi

what is that plant in the thumbnail called, I NEED TO KNOW

I want to climb all the trees

The video title threw me off a bit. Great video nonetheless.

Good God that looks like the perfect place for a city

I thought the Borneo Rainforest was the oldest!

And who cut it down? Annunaki. And they're still here, cutting down our forests and more.

Appreciate the work done by people on the ground, but I do wish the producers had used birdsong from the birds that live in the forest shown instead of birds that live in eastern North America. The songs in this video may sound exotic to Australian viewers, but they are VERY familiar to North American viewers. It's a missed opportunity. I would so love to have heard a soundtrack that included your birds' voices, especially birds from this special, particular place.

Watch out for any stingrays

"Cassowaries are notoriously difficult to find." You could have fooled me. We ran into one at a Children's petting zoo. It was well sequestered away from the bunnies and lambs but it was still surprising to walk past the pen and realize what kind of a monster they had lurking there between the baby goats and the snack bar. Children, behave!

I'm wondering where aboriginals got billy cans from to boil green ants.

Bro.. You said the palm tree was a 1,000 years old. That's not accurate.

God made so many Amazing creatures. Just beautiful and unique. Answers in Genesis channel have so e great nature videos too. ❤️

The best island in the world, with the best people 👍🏽🇦🇺💚

Zoo

I pay for premium. Dropping a ad was not smart. I'll never watch another one of your videos again.

Is the fundraiser for the forest or Ukraine?? They getting enough money so I'm confused here if it is & why is it under this video at that tho?🤔👀 Smh

Wrong. Borneo is the oldest rainforest. Scamm

If you're wondering why this forest is so small, it's because the local pyromaniacs lit fires for the past 100000 years. Then the last bit was ruined by white settlers with their hooved animals destroying the creek beds and washing the last of the topsoil out to sea. It was mostly the locals though. .006 is all that remains due to luck and the shape of the land. Caring for country is the biggest disrespect comment you could say in this continent. It never existed. More like 'self preservation above all else'.

It’s a shame these documentaries rarely include indigenous people and their 50,000+ years of knowledge. Descriptions of this place as wild or exotic, and a clear focus on colonial narratives really reduce the scope of knowledge available on these lands and animals.

I have to admit that Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺 is one of the most fascinating ajd best countries to both visit and live in somehow except that the nation were host to many fatal animals. 😊❤

Embarrassed to say I've never even heard about this tree kangaroo 🦘 it's is amazing
