Earthwalkers Series 10 Talks with the Travel Channel in the UK for the commissioning of series 10 are now underway. Earthwalkers has already traveled to some of the world's most beautiful locations and traversed many countries in an effort to uncover many of their best kept secrets. Unlike other travel shows, Earthwalkers also focuses exclusively on the backpacker with tips on where to stay and what to see.

This is the latest 1080i High Definition format designed to provide professional HD pictures with the convenience of portability.
Canberra Region film industry expands with new Film & HDTV Production Studio in Cowra. “The infrastructure is ideal for a relatively easy conversion into a substantial studio” says NRS Group, Managing Director Graham Patrick. “With an electricity substation on site, three large internal open spaces each of around 3500sqm, various workshops, an office space of 800sqm, a back-lot bordered by the Lachlan River, and much more, all in a very quiet area. It’s perfect!” “The concept is to build a creative community, not just a studio, where projects can go from script to screen.” says Graham Patrick “We aim to provide a relaxed and easy alternative to the usual hustle and bustle of city based production”. For Australian and international production companies it means being able to converge in a beautiful rural setting, work in the studio or on location with experienced crew and professional equipment, and enjoy secure, 5-star accommodation within close proximity for cast and crew. “There’s no trawling through traffic twice a day for hours. All the amenities are minutes away in Cowra and after a hard days work crew can hit the gym or relax beside the pool, all within the estate.” “Emerging market opportunities like China, that have huge demands, also have lower budgets. So the challenge is to create high quality content at a competitive rate ” says Patrick “HDTV has provided the technology and the new studios will provide us with the infrastructure, to produce high quality content at a relatively low cost which will enable us to compete with high end film production”.
Channelvision Channelvision is the NRS GROUP's own television channel which is broadcast on Channel 50 by Canberra's TransTV (TransACT).
