Tim Flannery and John Doyle enjoy the Undara Experience

john-doyle-and-tim-flannery.jpgAustralian of the year, Tim Flannery and his partner in crime John Doyle (Alias Roy from Triple J’s “Roy and HG”) visited the Undara Volcanic National Park this week to film the second series for ABC Television entitled “Two Men in the Top End”.

Tim, John and their film crew were escorted by Gerry and Bram Collins the owners of Undara Experience and members of the original pioneering family who have grazed cattle in the Gulf Savannah for 145 years this year.

Both Tim and John were so impressed with their Undara Experience that they will be making plans to return as visitors to Undara and the Gulf Savannah.

It was also a great opportunity for our Savannah Guides to meet Tim Flannery, a renowned paleontologist who shares his unique view of Australia’s natural history, geological evolution and climate change through his numberous books and media appearances.
