- David Attenborough narrates this video clip about Talbot Bay, a rarely seen vision of the tide at one of the most wild and rugged parts of Australian shoreline. From BBC.
This is a channel from BBC Studios who help fund new BBC programmes. Service information and feedback: www.bbcstudios...
Wow! I can almost see it.
David Attenborough is the voice that I never forget. So many programs have been watched when I was kid.
Something about this makes me nostalgic.
Oh yes, it's the 144p.
This also seems to me like it _has_ to be the inspiration for the inlet of Cape Suzet in the cartoon Talespin.
- yes, all the fast-flowing water is certainly an interesting natural phenomenon. However, it is also an opportunity to inexpensively install hydroelectric powerplants that can save our planet from climate changes and CO2 pollution. What is Australia waiting for???
can you guys reupload this? The 144p quality feels like I'm watching this on a piece of bread.
to be fair the quality’s not bad considering it’s 12 years ago!

My biology professor linked us to all these videos and every time it blew my mind how low the quality was
David Attenborough's words are so clean. One of the rare cases when i can fully understand without subtitle
I lived a childhood listening to David's magical voice, and it still mesmerizes me even today.
Same ❤
i enjoyed both pixels thanks
LOL, yes, could be a teeny bit higher resolution!
You got me. Hahah lmao. Well put.
That's gold, hahaha.
I laughed 5 minutes straight. Thanks.
Rendered on a Sinclair ZX81?
david attenborough can narrate anything and make it more interesting. best nature narrator.
I could set up a tent and listen to that water flowing in and out every day for the rest of my life.
Me too
@Jared Malone go play on your phone then.
It wouldn't be a very long life stranded there in a tent hoping not to get washed away

Thumbs up for David Attenborough!!!
I could see nothing beyond the narratives gorgeous voice ! ! ! !
bRad Nichols - "Narrator," I think you meant
+WildlifeObsessed no he meant narrative your not the UA-cam spelling POLICE!!!!
@@donhouse2920 Saying the narrative has a voice is like saying a story has a voice. A narrator is the person giving the narrative, and is what has the voice. This is not a spelling mistake.
@@donhouse2920 *you're :-)
The water looks so beautiful and yet so dangerous!
Back in my sailor days we were docking in Broome near by there. We went onshore for about two hours. When we came on land it was through a steep ladder downwards. About these two hours later we came back to see our funnel just above the dock. 9 meters had the tide desended my ship through that time. And they told us, that the record was 13 meters. Facinating.
This gentleman has a graciously forgiving voice.
If I spoke like him, I could even have my own tv show
Dr. Steve Brule But you can't,because there is only one SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
Merry Christmas!
the only person with a better voice to listen to who is also the number one audio book narrator is Simon Vance.
but you do, steve...
Van ..... Where you been man, hiding under a rock......for all your fucking life?!
Always wondered what life would look like in 8-bit
Creepy! They should upload a new version!

My Sega master system 2 was 8bit with Alex The Kid built in 😊
if its David Attenborough,
I WATCH AND LISTEN!!
It's amazing that the rocks at the narrow part haven't eroded after all this time and twice a day being exposed to fast flowing salt water.
Wonder how the sea life adapted. And the erosion of the sea bottom. Does it polish rocks? Or reduce them to sand?
@Darrell Cook as I can imagine, it is supposed to be eroded but maybe in small scale level. To make it sure, need a detail measurement
I had the privilege of witnessing a similar phenomenon in New Guinea from a native canoe in 1996. It was truly unnerving to see the speed of the flow and the dramatic differences in water depth between the two bays.
New Guinea is probably the most exotic place on Earth.
"Move'beach..get out the way...get out the way beach'get out the way"
lol..hahahahahaha
It is an absolute amazing experience to go there and ride those falls. I will never forget it!
The British narration? Are you aware that's Sir David Attenborough, he has been doing this for his entire life, I couldn't think of a more appropriate narrator.
I like his narration !

Best get a reversing ,water turbine installed in that flow of free energy.
Morgan Freeman has nice voice to listen to .
It's refreshing to hear someone speak who actually knows what a "tidal wave" is, I too could listen to that all day (the water flowing)
Yes, you see, that’s the problem with a ‘living language’. Words acquire meaning through general use. What is generally known as a ‘tidal wave’, indeed has nothing to do with tide formation.
I'm so lulled by his voice. While these videos are interesting, they're also very relaxing that I end up nodding off.
Thankyou so much for having closed captions!
Oh man that is amazing! Australia rules!
Beautiful! Putting that on my bucket list!
How quickly the tide turns!
That's why one should never give up.

"Well, that makes sense."
@@DJKinney lol what
I dunno, this would have still pissed me off in 2008.
The less you know about something the easier to understand it seems. Welcome to the Dunning- Krueger effect, and for revealing how little you know.
@@sjbechet1111 what?
@@Mr_Venison You obviously know nothing about video codecs or compression especially about what was widely and easily available 13 years ago. The only thing that makes sense about the date of the upload and your comment is; you don't know what you are talking about.
david attenburough - top narrator!
Quite the interesting video. And quite the spectacular tidal action.
The Bay of Fundy between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has the highest tides in the world with tidal differences of over 62 feet measured at Burncoat Cape. And, a higher rate of water flow occurs at mid-tide past Cape Spit than occurs in all the rivers of the world combined.
But, the tidal action is slow and steady, and doesn't have the spectacular effect that this location in Australia does.
That BBC voice is instantly recognizable.
Hey, welcome back 144p
those pixels are magnificent
To those who say this is click bait or ask where the wave is....Please just google the definition of a tidal wave. Cool video
Greg Newlands lamb b no BP BP I moto mayo del o para un TFTRTF1xxccvn
where is the wave?
Ain't no tidal wave there BBC. Try getting your title descriptions correct. Wasn't very spectacular anyway! Just saying.
There is no tidal wave. There's not even a wave
definite tidal wave, the problem is the term is kind of a misnomer. firstly because it's just a very shallow "wave," 1:12. but mostly because a bunch of dummies started calling tsunami's and any other big wave "tidal waves," despite them being much bigger and having nothing to do with the tide. tidal waves are more of a slow fill-and-drain in enclosed spaces or when land makes a pinch point to speed up water through it. the term has just been used incorrectly for years.
this narrator takes me back to a time
what an awesome place for a hydro plant!!!
Try finding it on a map and measuring the distance you'd have to send the power for it to benefit anyone. You'd be generating the world's most expensive power.
James Carter , it has been proposed before , however it is almost as far away as possible from any major city ,900 km to Darwin , 1900 km to Perth.
James Carter was thinking the same thing!
let's see, wind energy is fake, only with big government funding, it's credible, sun energy, well, depend on where you live, big parts of the globe just don't have the climate for it, the green dream is a ly, my friend, by the governments, nuclear is the way to go!
well, let them find a good, dependable energysource, before they are doing stupid thing, look at what happened in belgium.
dude, there are better ways to protect the earth, let's start by commercial shipping, and block polluting country's (goodbye china, US, and other filthy pests)
renewable energy, it's the new lie......
His voice brings me here.
Maybe David Attenborough could soothe me through the panic attack I'd have flying between those cliff walls.
wow this just blew my mind away. how amazingly incredible paradise Australia has. never seen something like it. isn't this world amazing? just wow
google "reversing falls" for another good example that has even higher changes then this one, and it is probably over 200 feet wide(the mouth of a major river )
That's where I learnt to swim!
Sure you did, and when will you be competing in the swimming at the Olympics?
Telx that's where i almost drowned
Too bad there wasn't a school nearby to teach you to spell.
WOW at the force of the tides coming and going.
The biggest wonder here is why the turboprop floatplane sounds like a piston driven aircraft?
Element of Kindness They make alot of the sounds in a studio, Google "Foley effect"
Element of Kindness hahaha I was thinking the same thing
What a beautiful place.
If ever a place was screaming for a water powered generator, THIS IS IT,
Australia has the most fascinating landscapes Ive ever seen!
You've never been to Africa then. It's the most beautiful country. All other places are last place LOL get stomped on.
The reporter made me want to sit infront of a fire and drink tea
David does that to you lol
''The reporter''?
You mean Sir David Attenborough?
Jakisuaki I
Jakisuaki Ima need you to put some respeck on Sir David's name
Sir David Attenborough is a legend!
the wonders of the universe make us stunned ... the greatness of the god the creator of the creator of nature
More like the power of the sun and Moons gravity 😎
I'm a Sea Kayaker,and Scuba Diver,and have been through,and dived in some extreme tidal races,and when the water flows downhill as it does here,you know it is awesome!!
I always watch this nature stuff with heavy music like SoaD or Delta Parole rock hard.
Amazing place to Visit loved every minute of it
Just extended my bucket list under "places to visit"...
i think his must be what people with near sight issues must have felt like back in the days when spectacles wasn't invented. watching this at 144p such a fascinating phenomena is pretty amazing with that clear voice.
I kept thinking my internet was screwed up, then saw that this was recorded with a baked potato back in 1908.
2008 you blind twat!
@@NiallMS1 Like a 747, went right over your head.
@@TheAdventureAuto Sorry!
Amazing how to can see it change so fast.
Tidal electric generators?
I love David Attenborough
to everyone saying it's a good location for tidal electrical generation, it's in the middle of no where, building the infrastructure to move the power 1,500km south would cost too much and isn't worth it
Nobody lives there because of lack of power.
Or... you may not need to take it to where people are, just use it to power an offshore data center...
@@michaelmorse2216 no, it's because Australia is the size of the US and only has 30 million people in it. The US has 350 million people and for some reason thinks they need more.
Sorry we have only just reached 25 million literally within the last month. But what is 5 million people between friends.
@@markfryer9880 ah, my bad. That's for proving my point even more.
Wow!. That is Amazing...hiw the tide changes rapidly
David, if you think this is a high tide go to Fundy Bay in Canada. Tide is 47 feet high with an extreme height of 53 feet.
and 2 km from my house! it is truly amazing
Kay Bee I believe the uniqueness here are the two narrow apertures which are the connection to the sea. they make the in/ out flow trusty. while fundy bay seems awesome , it's mouth is pretty wide , so waves don't have a thrust.
He doesn't need to travel that far. The river Severn in England has the third highest tidal range in the world, and only the bay of Fundy (north America) and Ungava bay ( Hudson straits) are bigger. The tidal range on the Severn can be as much as 15m (49ft), this combined to the 'funnel' shaped estuary causes the incoming tide to create great a bore.
I'm pretty sure he's already done a documentary on the bay of Fundy though.
Dale McLearn OMG someone from my area! I live In Moncton
Abhijit Oka If you come to Moncton NewBrunswick Which is at the and of the bay we get something called a tidal boar! It happens twice a day
Wonderful to get to see a video of this.
I'd estimate that that's at least 100,000 gallons a second going between those mountains. Were talking over a trillion gallons of water over a 4 hour period, not "millions".
Caveman: intelligent people use the imperial system
Lisa Smith and really intelligent people use both. 😊
The Horizontal Waterfalls in Talbot Bay, one of thee most incredible experiences I’ve ever had!
Crossing through there out boat skimmed across the surface about 25 feet without warning
2:24 looks like a T-rex projectile vomiting 😃
wth... hahaha
David Attenborough is the reason I pay my TV licence.
That sure could generate a great deal of hydroelectric power.
this place is remote so it’s useless
if only electricity could travel fast enough...
@Dave that's the purpose of transmission lines!
@Dave not to be a smarty but only about 2% of electricity is lost over thousands of miles of high transmission lines. Another 4% is lost through it's distribution once it reaches its destinations. So, I'm sure there is a cost for those miles of high transmission lines but we didn't create a source of electricity in the middle of Nevada (Hoover Dam) for the fun of it. In fact one article made the point of saying few of us live very close to power plants that are creating the electricity!
It's been fun. I'm sure glad I live during the time of HD video because there are so many fantastic, unusual, breathtaking, etc., sites and cultures I would have never experienced! What a wonderous time to be alive when even if you are poor like me, we can still experience planetary and universal travel!
Enjoyed our repartee...
Water is such an amazing force
I wonder what it looks like... at 144p it's just a blur really.
Sir David...GOAT.
Much greater than that of the Bay of Fundy in Canada's martimes.
What goes around comes around. Literally !
Herr Richtig can't help it :-)
thank you Lord for all the beauty you give us
Maria M No prob, Your welcome. and for my next trick, I will walk on water!!!
And the ability to live in a cave apparently...🙄
And thank you for NOT giving it to us in 144p!
“Thank you thank you thank you-ooo!” -Alanis Morisette.
Thank you the moon, for causing tides! Science!
Uploaded in the perfect quality for teachers to use for their class
who cares about tsunamis anymore i can hear attenboros voice lol
This video has nothing to do with a tsunami.
that would make an awsome water ride.
"MOVE BEACH, GET OUT THE WAY"
Sounds like a great energy source
Looks like a great location for a water turbine. Generating electricity both ways
Look at the location on a map mate. The closest town is many many hundreds kilometers away. You ll need to run these able thru ranges and valleys across a pretty thick bush...
Could also be a good concept - making artificial inlets with turbines at the entrance
I was thinking the same thing.
On the one hand, there's a lot of power you could generate from those tidal forces. But on the other hand, it would be a shame to industrialize such a natural wonder. And, of course, the closest settlement is halfway across the region, so it would cost a LOT to build THAT many pylons from Horizontal Falls to the town of Derby.
for who?
Thanks that was so awesome! Never seen anything about suction tides!
hope they build a tidal wave power gaining around there…. free energy for ever!!!!
+El Presidente Extremely remote area. Too expensive to get the power anywhere.
free energy twice a day is not forever
You cant... its a tourist area and hard to build
Glorious Blur-O-Vision
You want to see title change I'll introduce you to my bipolar wife
Thomas Norton I love that!
That's fucking hilarious!! 😂😂😂
got one alao, can confirm.
MARRIAGE isn't a word...
It's an Institution!
if she really is bipolar thomas, that's not funny. she needs help and you should be supporting her to get it. If your "bipolar" is a joke at those of us with the illness, the 25 thumbs up worries me: today such commentary is known as bullying.
Australia is a great place.
The Kimberley , not the Kimberlies there is only one !!!!!
Low-quality video from 2008! Whatever I really enjoyed it. Amazing!

Fantastic narrarator. I remember his voice on a BBC clip of a father lion being introduced to his cubs. It's on UA-cam and it's great.
this freaks me out
I know, it all seems so big and dangerous lol
What a pity. One of the most beautiful places on earth will soon be vanished.
I'm pretty sure every time this comes up in suggested I watch it.
Great source of electricity someday.
Nobody lives anywhere close so not a good place for power generation
May 30, 2008, geez... I feel old.
Oh I was looking for a tsunami xD
NathanC same
Quality has left the chat.
"36 feet" where's the metric system?? (I guess it's around 5 metres)
closer to 10 meters
36 feet=10.9728m
Who the fuck do you know with 14cm long feet? A foot is called a foot because it's the length of a regular adult male foot. It's just over 3 feet in a meter (with a meter being about the length of an adult male's gait).
I swear this obsession with metric is causing atrophy in the brains of people that don't care to think for themselves.
don't you have Google like the rest of the world? You could just look it up like the rest of us did. must be a lazy liberal
that is awsome. id love to see that.
Looks like a good location for tidal electrical generation, stupid that its not taken advantage of. It's probably been designated 23rd wonder of the world, so all the energy is wasted.
yep
this is one of the remotest parts of one of the remotest countries in the world
It would be a great place to generate power - But since it's so far away from civilization, who would use the power and how would you get the power there?
but wouldn't all that just destroy this unique marvel of nature?
I have been there, bloody beautiful. I got lucky and had the chance to actually go in by a decent Boat before the ride actually started to come in, and to watch it lift us up was amazing, and then drop us down. But yeah, the only way tourists can get in is by plane. I lived in Kununurra back in the early 1990's, so that is how I got the better chance.
Couldn't get past the ad. Not worth it.
Awesome!!
Feet and gallons? Jesus-tapdancing-Christ, BBC. I thought you were Liberal World Order one world government people... why aren't you using metric?
I'm 31 and I have no idea how much a gallon is. Everything is sold in litres in the UK, and Australia. I barely know what a foot is. Who the hell is this aimed at?
A lame documentary excerpt from a lame broadcaster.
C J nope sorry I'm not in to the whole one world new order shit. I'm proud to be an American and different than the rest of the world.
Andrew Williams. Well, since there are more people in America than the UK and Australia put together, perhaps you can wrap your mind around this being a documentary made for Americans. And as far as this gentleman being a poor narrator, something tells me his voice and his elocution would be far better than yours just based on your profile picture alone! You buy everything and liters? You look like you make most of your purchases in grams.
C J the very idea that you think because 98% of the world does something we need to do it to shows you how proud I am to be an American. Spoken like a true sheep. So because 98% of other people do one thing has absolutely no bearing on what myself, or the remainder of the 2% do. The idea that a majority of any kind should influence your own decisions or your own standards or in this case, measurements, is the very weak spineless reason that the world needs the United States. We aren't falling behind in anything. We are a strong country that is rebounding from any conomic downturn like the rest of the world, but we will remain leaders in everything. It's always been amusing to watch everybody else in the world complain about America because, well, they're not in America. I own 30 Acres, I hunt, I own firearms and a big diesel truck. I make more money than my need dictates. My to high school-aged Sons play football, real American football, and baseball is well. They are not weak, and they have no equal anywhere around the world. And they sure as hell don't care about 98% of something else. It's funny as an American to sit back and watch the world Panic about Trump. He's simply a strong leader the believes in the crazy idea that you should do what's best for your country before you do what's best for the world. It's amusing to see how people absolutely throw a fit at the idea that he's going to take care of the American taxpayer before he takes care of the 300-plus countries that we give some sort of foreign aid to. There is such a thing as an American exceptionalism. There is such a thing as the United States being a special place that you can't find anywhere else in the world. And speaking as a red-blooded American alpha male, the other 98% has no bearing on me. Hell, 98% of the rest of the world crawls around on all fours with a dildo shoved up its ass. I'll stick with my 2%. And you know what else is ironic? You know who else in the world has a very anti sheep and anti go with the crowd and a very ingrained sense of self accountability and ingenuity and exceptionalism? Russians. They are not sheep. They don't go with the crowd. And isn't it funny that the only two superpowers the world has ever seen are the ones who share the same traits?
C J but then again, 98% of the country's on this planet aren't superpowers
What, where did you get 3.75 from?? It's roughly 4.54
