Australia: Land Beyond Time Page #4

---

rising to search for that

far flash of water over the horizon

245

00:
37:40,625 -- 00:37:44,790

Those who have left their run too late

go back into the earth

246

00:
37:59,333 -- 00:38:02,749

The familiar desert

will now reclaim this place

247

00:
38:02,958 -- 00:38:06,915

Suns will scorch it

winds will dry it out

248

00:
38:14,833 -- 00:38:19,249

Most living creatures will dig in

and take refuge underground

249

00:
38:19,458 -- 00:38:23,499

Some will flee to the gentler edges

of this great land

250

00:
38:23,708 -- 00:38:28,665

And the hardy ones will await a new flood

in some future year

251

00:
38:42,500 -- 00:38:47,707

ln Australia life has struck an

unlikely deal with an uncertain climate

252

00:
38:54,250 -- 00:38:56,624

The continent has been a ship of refuge

253

00:
38:56,833 -- 00:38:59,374

for an alternate order of ancient life

254

00:
38:59,583 -- 00:39:01,874

as it crept northward through the eons

255

00:
39:02,083 -- 00:39:06,040

its passengers have had to adapt

again and again

256

00:
39:20,833 -- 00:39:22,749

ln this land beyond time

257

00:
39:22,958 -- 00:39:28,165

life has learned to ride out the hard times

and flourish in the good times

258

00:
39:28,375 -- 00:00:00,-001

Far more than merely surviving

life has triumphed in Australia
