Wildlife of the Australian Rainforests

Description

Rainforests in Australia are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, each on providing habitat for an impressive range of animals. This lavishly illustrated guide explores 51 wildlife watching sites in 22 bioregions.

For each bioregion, key birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates are described and illustrated both as an aid to identification and as a tool for the reader to gain a deeper understanding of their habits and biology.

For each site, key information includes location description, GPS coordinates, travel options and distances, relevant fees and permits, and an overview of some of the main tracks and trails.

The Wildlife of the Australian Rainforests comprehensively covers the sites and the species within them, yet is still compact enough to be easily carried while travelling to Australia’s amazing and ancient rainforests. It uses up-to-date taxonomy and is lavishly illustrated with over 400 colour colour images and 28 maps
