Eric Rolls, author of the much loved They All Ran Wild and A Million Wild Acres, has explained Australia as no one else could. An exciting story of natural events and scientific discovery, Australia: A Biography takes us from the infinity of creation to the detail of Australia’s land, plants and animals.

The first of a two book project, this book entitled Beginnings covers the formation of the cosmos, planet Earth, Gondwanaland and ultimately Australia. In glowing prose the author describes the evolution of Australia’s forests, rivers, flora and fauna. The book ends at the arrival of the first waves of human settlement.
