518    Originally produced by Flicker Alley in 1958. 
520    Five separate stories are dramatized, woven out of a 
       series of theoretical, island-hopping voyages that start 
       en route to Hawaii, and after traversing the South Seas as
       far as Australia, end up flying back home from Honolulu. 
       In between, through both an adventurous shipboard 
       passenger, a returning American WWII veteran, and the 
       enthused narration, we're taken island hopping to stops in
       places lush, tranquil, and inviting, like Tahiti, Tonga 
       and Fiji, then to and the even more exotic, primitive 
       Pentecost Island. Native dancing and song are celebrated 
       alongside cultures and customs spanning thousands of 
       years. Sailing onward to New Zealand, we're reminded it's 
       also an island, in fact two, with an unexpected geography 
       including volcanoes and snow-covered mountain ranges. From
       there we' travel on to Australia, where we follow the 
       arrival of a new European immigrant man and his young 
       daughter, as they get accustomed to native animals like 
       koalas and kangaroos, and then settle in for a new life in
       the "outback". There, they become integral in stories 
       illustrating life in such isolated areas, including both 
       the "School of the Air", a classroom conducted over the 
       radio and the Flying Doctor Service, similarly radio-
       dispatched. In a new, digital reincarnation, Cinerama 
       transports you to lush tropic islandsadventure-splashed 
       with a thousand excitements! Cinerama South Seas Adventure
       proved to be the 5th and last of the original, 3-panel 
       Cinerama travelogues. Released in 1958, and 4 months after
       the 3-panel competitor, Windjammer: the voyage of the 
       Christian Radich, it is at moments similar, although 
       overall an entirely different tale than previously seen in
       the format. With a partial narration by Orson Welles, the 
       picture also, surprisingly may be the first to chronicle 
       primitive bungee jumping.
