“Australia’s wildlife is rich and endlessly varied.  It ranges from the tiny pigmy possum to the great grey kangaroo, through insects, plants, spiders, birds, mammals and sea creatures of every conceivable kind.  Yet few of us have seen more than a fraction of this diversity at first hand.  That is what makes this book so fascinating.  The photographs, chosen for their rarity and often stunning beauty, bring you a vivid impression of our unique natural heritage.  It is as full of contrast as Australia itself.  And it awakes a sense of wonder.  Why are so many species found only here?  How has our often harsh climate affected survival? What does the future hold?.”
