If you are heading down under, make sure you take this book with you."--Alan Davies and Ruth Miller,Biggest Twitch"[T]he emphasis is on the creatures a visitor is most likely to see in or near the major tourist regions. The text is concise but detailed and the images are uniformly excellent. I was able to use them without difficulty to identify the animals, and particularly the many birds I had photographed on my various trips to Australia. This book will certainly accompany me on my next visit."--AnthonyToole,Shvoong.com"If space or weight are an issue on your travels, then this would be the one guide to take with you."--Jim Morgan,Birding Frontiers"Anyone who likes wildlife and is planning a visit to Australia should have this book."--FHB,Wildlife Activist"The text is well written and informative giving salient points of identification and range.
