Sir David Attenborough at 100: A Century of Wonder | 9 News Australia Documentary
From the tropical rainforests of Sumatra to the deep blue of the Great Barrier Reef, Sir David Attenborough has spent 70 years as the “voice of the planet.” 🌏🐢
As the legendary naturalist turns 100, we look back at his extraordinary legacy—from his early days at the BBC to becoming a fierce advocate for our shrinking bushland and the survival of Earth’s dynasties.
Sir David’s connection to Australia has always been profound, whether pricking our consciences about conservation or celebrating the “mind-blowing” wildlife wonders of our marvellous country. 🇦🇺
Join us for this special tribute to the man who taught us all how to look properly at the world through our own eyes.
