“This is a picture of Australia today, with all its changing patterns and their implications for the future interpreted by two trained geographers and written in simple language.  Australia’s land surface is described on the basis of natural regions which have been identified by landforms, climate and development.  From empty deserts to the close human settlement of the state capitals, from the tropical tip of Cape York to the exposed southerly headlands of Tasmania or Albany, from the modern installations at Northwest Cape eastwards to Cape Byron in New South Wales, the vast range of regional landscapes is described and the interplay of physical and human elements is analysed.”
