Travellers' Wildlife Guides: Australia - the East

About this book

Australia is one of the few travel destinations worldwide where almost all visitors want to view wildlife – kangaroos and koalas, of course, but, increasingly, other animals as well: parrots, bowerbirds, dangerous saltwater crocodiles, large ground lizards called monitors or 'goannas', and the colourful marine life of the Great Barrier Reef.

In this book is all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Australia's magnificent animal and plant life. Travellers' Wildlife Guides: Australia - The East contains:
- Identification and location information on the most frequently seen animals.
- Full-colour illustrations of nearly 650 of Australia's most common fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
- Up-to-date information on the ecology, behaviour, and conservation of profiled animals.
- Information on eastern Australia's habitats and on the most common plants visitors encounter.
- A section on Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef and on the underwater animals most divers and snorkelers actually see.
- Brief descriptions of the most frequently visited parks and reserves in eastern Australia and Tasmania.
