The Eastern Australia Travellers' Wildlife Guide is a detailed illustrated guide to the fauna of the eastern states of Australia. It also offers general information for the region such as its geography, habitats and flora, visitor information for its national parks and general advice on ecotourism.

Australia is one of the few travel destinations worldwide where almost all visitors want to view wildlife - kangaroos and koalas, of course, but, increasingly, other animals as well: parrots, bowerbirds, dangerous saltwater crocodiles, large ground lizards called monitors or "goannas," and the colorful marine life of the Great Barrier Reef. In this book is all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Australia's magnificent animal and plant life.
