This illustrated volume traces the evolution and natural history of Australia from the development of the early land mass four and a half million years ago to the formation of the modern continent. It is believed that the land-mass which is now Australia was taken to each of the poles twice, and this turbulent geological journey is reflected in its unique wildlife and in its fossil heritage.
