[00:06.16] More than twice the width of the Atlantic Ocean,
[00:08.87] the South Pacific is 10,000 miles wide.
[00:19.44] Many of the pioneers who made it to the most easterly islands
[00:23.27] set off from its far-western corner.
[00:31.62] And, for most, New Guinea was the launch pad.
[00:36.92] Three times the size of Britain,
[00:39.03] this is the largest tropical island in the world
[00:44.25] and the richest in animal life
[00:50.92] with some truly eye-catching residents.
[00:56.48] Like this Goldie's Bird of paradise.
[01:01.29] Never filmed before,
[01:02.70] Goldie's are just one of New Guinea's 38 species of bird of paradise,Goldie
[01:07.61] all famed for their spectacular plumage.
