Occupying an immense area of the continent's north-west, it is remote, sparsely populated, and a marvel of natural diversity. As a region it stands apart. The great arc of ranges to the south and east effectively isolates the region from the rest of the mainland. The deeply indented coastline to the north, fortified by rugged cliffs and washed by monstrous tides, completes the Kimberley's natural borders Home to an extraordinary array of wildlife and vegetation, the Kimberley stands as one of the world's last great natural refuges. From its scorched desert fringes and vast eucalypt woodlands, to pockets of remnant rainforest and coastal mangrove communities patrolled by saltwater crocodiles, there is a variety of habitats with few equals." Bound in the original green boards, stamped in bright gold on the spine. Complete with dust jacket. 8.5" wide by 11.5" tall. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.
