Australia

The Australian Outback covers the vast desert, the homes, lifestyles and nature at it’s best. Hearing native birds at dawn, and seeing kangaroos hopping across the red desert, for nature and wildlife lovers, there is simply no place quite like the Australian outback to immerse yourself in the wonders of the natural world. The Australian outback is home to a wide variety of fascinating animals, from the most iconic kangaroo to wallabies and koalas. There is also a rich breed of parrots and bird life in the outback as well as deadly snakes, reptiles and liz- ards, and even some frogs that are only found in the outback. This pictorial book covers also the homes, lifestyles and towns and why the Australian Outback is truly one of a kind with a resilent community of people who have adapted to the harsh environment and their connection to the land creating a way of life that is both challenging and rewarding.
