An indispensable guide to Australian wildlife with plants and animals from the coral reefs to the rainforests, eucalypt woodlands and deserts. * Over 600 beautifully illustrated images. * Distribution maps. * Comprehensive descriptions. * Information on where they live or grow. A field guide for travellers and a reference book for the home library.
An attractive one-volume guide to the plants and animals of Australia. Obviously it is not comprehensive, but it does have the most common species, along with illustrations and range maps. Nicely done.
This book was in my shed, in my camping gear, ignored, unread and gathering dust.
For some reason I packed it the last time we went camping (with my 3 and 5yo girls). The book was used everyday as we flicked through it looking for some animal, or insect, or reptile that we had seen... and every time it was in the book.
