DID YOU SEE the first episode of Northern Picture’s new three-part documentary series The Magical Land of Oz on the ABC last night? Well, we can confirm it’s a must-watch.

The first episode, which was dedicated to Australia’s ocean wildlife, had everything from adorable sea lions, humpback whales– including the story of Migaloo– and cannibalistic spider crabs.

This week’s episode, airing on Sunday on the ABC at 7:30 pm, will be dedicated to land animals, including numbats, parrots and saltwater crocs.

Australian Geographic is published by Northern Pictures.
