Always an immersive experience, the phenomenal talents of Phil Selmes never fail to feed the viewer with not only an educational involvement but also, a visual feast of Australia's and indeed, natures incredible and unique ability, to continue to evolve and thrive under astonishing and seemingly unlikely circumstances. "K'gari" is yet another superb documentary, once more beautifully filmed and researched, sewn together into a story-tellers tapestry. Culminated with the magnificent vocal tones of narrator, Steve Chambers, once more Phil delivers impressions and insights with maturity, suaveness and sophistication. Another documentary to be proud of, it is an adventure into Australia's individuality combining truth and beauty through the eye of an artist.
My wonderful friend Grant, so great to hear from you again buddy. As always your comments blow me away, thank you for your kindness and support. These projects are a labour of love, knowing that my wonderful followers enjoy watching is all the motivation I need to continue on this journey. Thank you again my friend for your support over the years, I'm already well into my next production which I hope to have out within a few months. Take care, stay safe, cheers Phil
Wow, what a beautifully written tribute to Phil Selmes and his work! It’s clear that 'K’gari' is not just a documentary but a true masterpiece that captures the essence of Australia’s unique landscapes and wildlife. I’m excited to experience this immersive journey and appreciate the artistry behind it! 🎥🌏✨
I wish so terribly badly that i could see and visit Australia. Ive lived in Arizona my entire life, im 37, have only been to New Mexico, Texas, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Ive lived 99% of my life within a 50 mile radius from where i was born, St. Joe's, in Phoenix. I adore, ADORE Australia and her people. I find some of the accents entirely endearing. God... i pray so vehemently that one day i get to visit Australia, maybe even make some friends while im there..
10 out of 10. Perfectly done. It is an amazing place and you have brought it to life for those who haven't been there. I love the detail, the science, and the scenery without the people in it...... remarkable.
Cheers buddy, you are very kind, thank you, its so nice to receive this feedback. At times I wonder if I'm the only one interested in this kind of stuff, and if I'm really hitting the right mark. Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms nah Phil, youre definitely not the only one interested in this stuff. Many of us appreciate the immersive nature experience of your filming. Thanks for making these videos, they demostrate an intricate awareness of the natural beauty of this great continent
@@stuarth43 Me too. I’m from Gympie but live in the Blue Mountains. Never been to k’gari. When I lived in Qld I didn’t understand its significance. I would love to see it but don’t know how you would get to the rainforest or freshwater lakes.
Thank you Amy, you are so kind. Steve is a wonderful narrator isn't he? We are blessed to have him on our team. Stay safe and thanks again, cheers Phil
Lake Mackenzie and the Lagoons are my favourite places. 😊. One time, in the morning, when the Sun was rising, I was privileged enough to see the butterflies migrating South, outside my cabin, and walked through them. It really was beautiful now I remember. 🦋🐚.
Another incredible documentary, Phil. I’m honestly blown away by the quality of your films. They’re always so beautifully filmed with wonderful information, narration and music. I know you must put in an enormous amount of work to make these high quality productions and I wish you all the success in the world. 😊
Hi Cait, so nice to hear from you again. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and wishes, I'm so glad you enjoy watching our videos. I hope to have another couple out later this year. Stay safe, and thanks again, cheers Phil
omg wow what an amazing place to visit, I hope to get there one day, its just an amazing country that we live in and you do an awesome job of bringing to life for people that are unable to get out and see it. thank you for another spectacular video I was so excited when I seen it come up on my feed.
So great to hear from you again Manda, hope you and the family are well. You must get to K'gari some day, it is just wonderful up there. We spent 2 weeks there on 2 separate occasions to film this. Thanks for watching and for your continued support over the years. Stay safe, cheers Phil
Thank you for this beautiful documentary. It brings back fond memories of our 2 day visit last year while travelling Australia’s east coast. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain but that didn’t keep us from experiencing the uniqueness of this island.
اسٹریلیا دنیا کے خوبصورت ترین ملک میں سے ایک ہے یہاں کے لوگ بھی بہت اچھے اور خوش اخلاق ہیں میں اکثر یوتوب پر دیکھتا رہتا ہوں اپ سے رابطہ ہوا بہت اچھا لگا اپ بھی ایک اچھے اور خوش اخلاق انسان ہیں اللہ تعالی اپ کی ہمیشہ مدد فرمائے
This documentary sounds incredible! K’gari’s diverse landscapes and unique wildlife are truly captivating. I can’t wait to learn more about the natural forces that shape this beautiful island and see the amazing creatures that call it home! 🌊🌿🐾
Thank you James, that is very kind. So happy you enjoyed the film. Our narrator Steve Chambers has a wonderful talent doesn't he? Thanks for watching, cheers Phil.
Hi Penny, thank you so much for the kind feedback, we are delighted to know our documentaries resonate with you. Stay safe and thanks again for yor support, cheers Phil
I used to go there during school holidays... What a magical place..its singing sands and fabulous brumbies and wildlife. I cant wait to watch your video
Thank you for a wonderful film! Beautiful location, great shooting and editing, fantastic film! I always watch your films about the nature of Australia with great admiration! We are waiting for the continuation, new episodes ....
This was awesome. There are plenty of Fraser Island UA-cam videos out there, but this one was a step above. Exceedingly professional, and I thought it was awesome that it was more about the island itself and the ecological system rather than just the amazing the 4wd'ing. I love a good Fraser 4wd video, but I learnt way more in this video about K'Gari than I have ever learnt about this island. Awesome work.
Aww thanks mate, much appreciated. Yes natural history, nature, wildlife, landscapes is what we are all about. So glad to hear you enjoyed this little doco. Thanks for watching and also for taking the time to let us know what you think. Stay safe and all the best, cheers Phil
@IntotheWildFilms, When the late Steve Irwin visited K’Gari some years ago, he noticed that the island had some Brumbies on it. Do they still inhabit the island or have they since all been moved to the mainland?
An amazing documentary. I am a fan of Australia and have been there about four times. Congratulations for your beautiful work and please keep going with it. Thank you very much sir. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Veronica, thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed our journey across K'gari. We have more documentaries in development, so stay tuned. Stay safe, cheers, Phil.
Thanks for watching, yes the vast majority of K'gari is protected as National Park. K'gari is also recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Location (one of 19 in Australia).
ما شاء اللہ بہت خوبصورت جگہ ہے یہ اور بہت ہی خوبصورت ویڈیو ہے ویڈیو بنانے میں بڑی محنت ہے کمال کی ویڈیو ہے میری اللہ سے دعا ہے کہ اللہ اپ کو ہمیشہ ایسی ویڈیو بنانے کی ہمت دے
My husband and I went to Fraser Island quite a few years ago now. The only thing I really remember about it was the beach being full of 4wds tearing up and down. You had to look left and right before crossing the beach. Not sure if it’s changed since then.
Still the same, always look left and right on the beach. We tend to go out of peak times, much nicer where there are fewer people around. Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
Hi Phil, you never cease to amaze me with your productions. I can see the amount of work that goes into them and they keep me engaged throughout the doco. Well done! I have spent a lot of time here and can't wait to go back!
Awww thank you Chris, you are very kind. Hope you guys are well. Yes there is a mountain of work bringing these docos to the screen, its great to hear that I was able to hold your interest. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else finds this stuff as fascinating as I do. Anyway thanks so much for watching, stay safe cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms memories come flooding back as soon as I watch them. 💖💖 All good here and looking forward to the adventures coming this year. What do you have installed?
@@AquariusTraveller Keep up the great content Chris, we had a few days in Bundy at the end of last year and watched your vid for some ideas which was great :)
Thank you Robin, that means a lot. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us some feedback. Glad you are enjoying our videos. More in the pipeline, hopefully at least 2 more this year. Stay safe mate, cheers Phil
That was a well put together video,thank you I enjoyed watching that.i am from the states but a friend of mine lives nearby and has told me about this place so it's nice to see a video on it.👍
Great to hear from you again, yes of course I remember you, glad you pointed out your name change otherwise I wouldn't have recognised you. Thanks for watching and thanks as always for your kindness and support over the years. Stay safe, cheers Phil
If you have a 4x4 you can catch a ferry from the mainland and drive it yourself. Otherwise there are plenty of tours you can do. thanks for watching, stay safe, cheers Phil
Sir, i just came across your channel and its fantastic what you are able to achieve without professional crew. i admire the enormous effort that goes into making this, it cant be made if it wasent for love of doing this. i am an engineer and would love to start on telling nature stories. May i know what gear do you use? (camera/drone). Also i am very curious on your writing. Do you write before you visit a location or you write after you shoot im post? How did you get the drone shot and underwater shot of a whale and baby? sorry for many questions. You are a naturalist as much as a filmmaker. I wish i can be an assistant and learn from you sir😊
Thank you very much for this magnificent discovery (for me)! Your film is splendid, and the danger therefore is: "Homo Turisticus" would like to colonize it, after viewing your film! I sincerely hope K'gari will remain as pristine as possible, as long as can be!
Thanks for watching, K'gari has a small resident population but gets flooded with tourists during the holiday seasons. Most of the island is protected as National Park. Cheers Phil
Well here you are Don www.resources.qld.gov.au/land-property/initiatives/kgari/about Now you can consider yourself informed :) thanks for watching, cheers Phil
Thanks for watching, I understand the sentiment. As long as we can all respect these places and leave them exactly as we found them I don't see a need to stay away. The natural world feeds my soul, I'd hate to think of a day where we are prohibited from accessing it. Cheers Phil
Dingos are the most dog-like non-domesticated dogs lol they look like regular ol dogs. Having coyotes here in Arizona, i see them all the time. A dingo would be strange, for me, anyways. Beautiful animals, no doubt.
Yes they look deceptively like friendly dogs but they are anything but. People get bitten and occasionally attacked by them . Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
Sure did, we spent 2 weeks on 2 separate visits to capture all the footage. Thanks for watching buddy, hope you enjoyed the show. Stay safe, cheers Phil
Thanks for watching, the Queensland Government actually changed the name in 2023, details are here: www.resources.qld.gov.au/land-property/initiatives/kgari/about Hope you enjoyed the documentary. Stay safe, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms I lived on Russel island in Moreton bay ive been to Frazer Island many times back in the 70s ,and it will always be called Frazer Island ,same deal as Ayres Rock ,and im Indigenous as well
I'm not judging you mate, you are free to call it whatever you like. I'm a documentary film maker and I need to present the information as factually correct. I dont care what anyone calls it. I still call it Fraser Island myself, just a habit from travelling there for many years before it was renamed. Cheers Phil
It would almost certainly have been attached to the mainland before the last Ice Age, just like Tasmania, kangaroo Island and many others Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
I would hope we change most places to their original names. They all sound better and aren't associated to some country on the other side of the planet. Cheers from Yugambeh country.
@@IntotheWildFilms I am queenslander,born here lived here 74 years,it Fraser Island,I do not believe in stolen gen stuff, the voice thing was biggest waste money,all men born equal,so why now government pander to one group spend millions of tax payers $ that wasted,get drift.
That's fine Ross, you are free to hold your own beliefs, that's the wonderful thing about democracy. You said I "got name wrong" but as I'm sure you know your goverment changed the name as detailed in the link above. All I'm doing is using factually correct information at the time the documentary was made. Take care Ross, cheers Phil
Thanks for watching, driving a 4x4 along the beach is the only real way to get around on K'gari. The vast majority of drivers are responsible and respectful about protecting the natural habitat. But like anywhere there is a small number who do the wrong thing. Stay safe, cheers Phil
"Australia's traditional language" It really isn't that simple "People first migrated to Australia at least 65,000 years ago, and over time formed as many as 500 language-based groups."
Fabulous island but why the hell the name was changed I’ll never know;how many Australians speak the indigenous language and even if we did,which dialect would we use !!!!!!!!😂

Yes they look deceptively like friendly dogs but they are anything but. People get bitten and occasionally attacked by them . Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
I felt Fraser Island through the soles of my feet the first time I stepped on it 50 years ago.
Thanks for watching, cheers Phil

Thanks for watching, the Queensland Government actually changed the name in 2023, details are here: www.resources.qld.gov.au/land-property/initiatives/kgari/about Hope you enjoyed the documentary. Stay safe, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms I lived on Russel island in Moreton bay ive been to Frazer Island many times back in the 70s ,and it will always be called Frazer Island ,same deal as Ayres Rock ,and im Indigenous as well
I'm not judging you mate, you are free to call it whatever you like. I'm a documentary film maker and I need to present the information as factually correct. I dont care what anyone calls it. I still call it Fraser Island myself, just a habit from travelling there for many years before it was renamed. Cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms No probs ,i will call it what the true name it is
@@douglasbanks3318 No worries, stay safe mate. Cheers Phil
chances are it wasnt an island during the ice age.....
It would almost certainly have been attached to the mainland before the last Ice Age, just like Tasmania, kangaroo Island and many others Thanks for watching, cheers Phil
I hate how they keep changing all the names of Aussie places
I hope you enjoyed the video though, thanks for watching, cheers Phil
It was cool mate@@IntotheWildFilms
I would hope we change most places to their original names. They all sound better and aren't associated to some country on the other side of the planet. Cheers from Yugambeh country.
You got name wrong it Fraser island not other,get right,
www.resources.qld.gov.au/land-property/initiatives/kgari/about
@@IntotheWildFilms I am queenslander,born here lived here 74 years,it Fraser Island,I do not believe in stolen gen stuff, the voice thing was biggest waste money,all men born equal,so why now government pander to one group spend millions of tax payers $ that wasted,get drift.
That's fine Ross, you are free to hold your own beliefs, that's the wonderful thing about democracy. You said I "got name wrong" but as I'm sure you know your goverment changed the name as detailed in the link above. All I'm doing is using factually correct information at the time the documentary was made. Take care Ross, cheers Phil
Luck
Thanks for watching, stay safe, cheers Phil
Australian people,can eat the swans
Ummmm... ok, Thanks for watching, stay safe, cheers Phil
How stupid is it to drive with huge fourwheel cars in the sanddunes and on the beach just for fun - killing animals and plants
Thanks for watching, driving a 4x4 along the beach is the only real way to get around on K'gari. The vast majority of drivers are responsible and respectful about protecting the natural habitat. But like anywhere there is a small number who do the wrong thing. Stay safe, cheers Phil
"Australia's traditional language" It really isn't that simple "People first migrated to Australia at least 65,000 years ago, and over time formed as many as 500 language-based groups."
Spot on, thanks for watching, cheers Phil
Worse still in the terrains of England
Thanks for watching, stay safe, cheers Phil
Fabulous island but why the hell the name was changed I’ll never know;how many Australians speak the indigenous language and even if we did,which dialect would we use !!!!!!!!😂
Thanks for watching Rob, it certainly is a beautiful island, truly unique. Stay safe mate, all the best, cheers Phil
