The island continent of Australia and its various native flora and fauna are a biologists paradise. It has experienced an unusually long, uninterrupted period of evolution in isolation and contains a wide variety of unique ecosystems from wetlands to tropical and temperate rainforest to eucalypt forests, arid desert regions and offshore coral reefs.


The fascinating mix of indigenous fauna ranges from the primitive through unique survivors from the dinosaur era to highly evolved mammals. Nowhere else in the world are all three lineages of monotreme, marsupial and eutherian mammals found together.


The awesome and phenomenally beautiful gorges of WA, the tropical reefs, the weather, the wildlife, the spectacular coastal features (eg. Great Ocean Road), offshore islands, diving & snorkelling, the outback, bushcamping, amazing stargazing, big rocks like Uluru, alternative lifestylers and planned cities are all part of what Australia has to offer. Join me now as I show you just a small selection of this offering.
