Australia: The Red Continent - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

The Australian continent has been separated from the rest of the world by the surrounding oceans for 200 million years. This has led to the development of a unique flora und fauna. Enormous forests in the south contrast with the tropical rain-forest of the north and the dry regions of the west in Australia. Besides the Koalas, so loved by everyone, and the clumsy kangaroos, Australia is inhabited by a wide range of endemic animals ranging from tiny lizards to dangerous crocodiles. The bird world in particularly is very rich with its unique and colourful parade of feathered creatures. Large regions of Australia have been placed on UNESCO s World Cultural Heritage list. The many breathtaking photographs in this book leave a lasting impression of this continent, which is one of the most beautiful in the world.
