Adventures with Attenborough, TV Series:1956 - 2016

Sir David Attenborough, well known educationalist, through many decades and former director of BBC Two celebrated six decades of TV productions in 2016.
His TV series of various titles, have both engaged and enthralled millions of interested participants and some of us wish that David could have been our science-teacher.

Since David began his TV programmes, many variables have impacted on the health of the planet and the Australian continent in particular has been at the centre of a number of adaptations to climate variations. One Australian example in particular that of Lake Wendouree, adjacent to the city of Ballarat, Victoria.

While David was at the beginning of his presentations to the various opportunities provided by his TV productions in 1956, the Olympic rowing competitions were taking place at Lake Wendouree.
Due to a drought from 2006 to 2011 - Lake Wendouree became a dry-lake.
