Product Description

Product Description

Rudy Maxa is an award-winning public television series host and public radios original Savvy Traveler. Rudys authoritative tips, trips and secret places capture the vitality and character of the worlds most popular destinations and go beyond the guidebooks to discover hidden treasures and off-the-beaten-path surprises. Program One: Australia: Sydney - Seize the day in a city that knows how to play! Rudy Maxa tours the famed Opera House, goes pub hopping in the Old Rocks quarter, explores the cliffs and rainforests of the Blue Mountains, and captures glimpses of Australias legendary wildlife at Featherdale Wildlife Park. You will bask in the sun at Bondi Beach, and swim with sharks at Oceanworld Manly. Program Two: Australia: Queensland - Queensland has it all! From the awe-inspiring Great Barrier Reef to the ancient Daintree Rainforest, a trip to Queensland is a once in a lifetime chance to explore a natural world virtually unchanged for millennia. Rudy explores aboriginal culture and visits the remarkable Fraser Island, the worlds largest sand island. Program Three: New Zealand: North Island - Take in New Zealands most historic site, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where Maori chiefs signed a controversial treaty with the British. Stops also include the fruit and olive groves of Hawkes Bay, the massive colony of gannet birds at Cape Kidnappers, a blast from the art deco past at Napier, as well as a primeval forest, an oyster farm, Cape Britt Lighthouse, and regional wineries. Program Four: New Zealand: South Island - South Island is a mecca for extreme sports and outdoor adventures. It is also a haven for wine-country tours and rapturously beautiful scenery. Rudy visits the winding coastal hiking trails of Abel Tasman National Park, takes in the birthplace of bungee jumping in Queenstown, and braves white water rapids in the spirit of adventure. Blu-ray Plus Combo Pack… In addition to the Blu-ray disc, this combo pack also includes: 1. DVD version of the program(s) that you can play in your DVD player, vehicle or computer. 2. Digital copy of the program that you can download to your computer and/or transfer to your mobile devices. Questar is pleased to offer you the ability to watch our award-wining programs whenever and wherever you want!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Greet Intro to Sydney, Queenland, and New Zealand
    Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This Blu-ray plus DVD set is a steal (bargain) for anyone wanting an introduction to Australia and New Zealand. It consists of four episodes (Sydney, Queenland, NZ North Island, NZ South Island) produced in the standard format of the Rudy Maxa show that many of us have been accustomed to watching on US public television. The difference is that on public television, Rudy was usually somewhere in Europe, whereas here on glorious Blu-ray, he is visiting Australia and New Zealand. Rudy may not be going to all the places you might go to down under, but the four programs should whet your appetites for these two magnificent countries. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    One reviewer felt Rudy was trying to sell something through the program. From watching him on countless PBS episodes, I can assure you he is only trying to whet your appetites to all the great things to see and do in far away places. Think of Rudy Maxa as a upscale front-door version of Rick Steves; Rudy would feature the Park Hyatt in Sydney, whereas Rick Steves would (if he were to do Australia) feature a small family owned B&B.

    This Blu-ray set was done in 2005 (at least the Sydney one was, based on the comment in the Opera House) and produced in 2006. Even so, after returning from a trip to Australia and New Zealand (Nov 2015). I found the Blu-ray set to be still fresh as an intro, and refreshing to see again to boot. For example, the sights and things he did on the Blu-ray in Sydney (where ten years of change is significant) still seem to remind me of the way we saw Sydney just a few weeks ago, although we did not have the resources to do all he did in the program. We instead enjoyed the many free museums in Sydney (a la Rick Steves), which Rudy did not feature in his Blu-ray. The gorgeous opening aerial sequence of Sydney Harbour is worth the price of admission. And the price for this beautiful set is amazingly low now. So get it, while you can.

    The narration was great. We felt like we were there. My husband and I wanted go to Australia and New Zealand, but we learned due to an aggressive illness, we wouldn't be able to. So this was the next best thing. The photography is phenomenal. Unfortunately, we only were able to watch Austraila, but I'm sure the quality of New Zealand is the same. Enjoy your journey.

    Unfortunately Rudy stays on the East Coast and ignores Perth, Darwin, the mineral riches, Alice Springs, and the big red rock. Most tours miss the same thinmg and this was Rudy's chance to fill a monster void !

    When I showed these to my wife she wanted to go there to see the sights in person. Too bad the wheelchair and long flight don't go so well for trips these days. We'll watch on the TV.
