Start in the hours before dusk and finish with the last rays of the setting sun. Meet unusual creatures you may not know, such as emus, echidnas, and a frog that lives most of its life underground. See familiar faces, such as the kangaroo and the koala, and learn more about how they live. Let stunning photographs and Jonathan Grupper's lively text give you a very special glimpse of the land and animals of Australia.
