Attenborough Perth-bound

As exotic and much imitated as many of the species he describes in his Life on Earth series, television naturalist Sir David Attenborough is headed to Perth.

The date with Sir David, 86, at the Riverside Theatre at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on August 4 was added after his six appearances in Sydney and Melbourne sold out quickly.

Sir David Attenborough - A Life on Earth will be a journey through his six-decade broadcasting career, the evolution of filming techniques and his close brushes with nature.
