Authors: Iain Campbell, Charley Hesse, And Phil Gregory

When visitors think of Australia, they expect strange wildlife such as kangaroos, platypus, koalas, and cassowaries.

Yet nothing prepares people for the otherworldly landscapes of mallee and mulga woodlands, karri forests, and spinifex and gibber deserts.

This illustrated guide covers every major habitat found on the continent together with those of New Guinea and the Solomons.
