We can't confirm yet the year of the release of this title as nothing in indicated on the covers, booklet, nor on the CD of even on the final title credits (this title do not have a credits screen). But we can confirm it has been produced and published by Disctonics, and it do require s a Digital Video Cartridge to be played.
A considerable amount of full screen video footage is available on it.
To define the year release, we should use Isobuster or dump it, but we believe it is around 1994.[gallery size="medium" columns="1" ids="23547"]
Take a look at the Disc Type... it says Data Storage, but in fact it is a more a Video-CD title.
Why? Because when we used the LG GDI 700M CD-i player, it shows VCD on the display.
As I do not own this title, I can't confirm more than this.[gallery ids="23951,23947,23948"]
It includes the single Live it up in Queensland from Greville Patterson, that also can be purchased separately as Audio-CD. Listen to this single here:
Queensland – Australia’s Sunshine State is so far the only CD-i title published in Australia.
Do you know or have Australian title?

Our website team member Alan_CDiZone owns it.

Also, to confirm, it is indeed a VCD, even though like many VCDs it has prominent CD-i branding. A bit unusually, it also has a digitized CD-i logo in the on-disc content itself, right at the start of the disc. So while it isn't a CD-i, this title is a definite worthwhile addition to any VCD collection. I really enjoyed the title and must say that it very effectively promotes tourism to the area!
