	Amazing Facts about Australian Explorers It seems incredible that Australia's early explorers, who stumbled across a huge continent filled with so many natural wonders, didn't at first realise what an important discovery they had made! However, I guess many of us, who first began to learn about Australia's past in history class, probably also don't realise just how fascinating Australian history is - both before and after European settlement. Australia's early explorers were an odd bunch. Some were incredibly brave; others were extremely foolhardy. Some formed friendships with Aborigines and respected their rights and traditions; others treated them awfully. They came from many different countries and backgrounds. Some gained fame and fortune; others lost their lives. Despite this, they all had one thing in common, one thing that I share with them - an unquenchable thirst for discovery. Discovering more about Australia has captivated me since I was a child. I hope that, like me, you will enjoy reading about how our continent was first revealed to the world, and about the people who explored the Great Southern Land. $19.95Add to Cart ISBN: 9781741932959

It is to our astonishment we also learn that mammals today often had either giant or pygmy-sized ancestors millions of years ago! Today our mammal heritage is threatened by a number of challenges as development pushes into natural habitats and introduced predators thrive. Many of the extraordinary creatures in this book may be new to you. Many of them are shy or nocturnal and a number of them are endangered or vulnerable. Perhaps what you learn from this book will delight you so much that you'll want to delve deeper into the amazing lives of Australia's mammals and cultivate your wonder as to which of them share your suburbs, the countryside or the sea. With great enthusiasm I set out on another incredible adventure of learning and discovery in collaboration with the Queensland Museum, joining with their talented publication team to produce this book.
