This volume marks a pioneering achievement as the first to extensively employ full-colour photography to authentically depict both the birds and their habitats across Australia. Many native species have never been photographed, and some are believed to be extinct, having gone unseen for decades. To ensure comprehensive coverage, artistic renderings have been carefully selected for these elusive birds. Over 80% of the illustrations are vivid full-colour photographs, while the remainder features artwork drawn from renowned ornithological publications and contemporary artists, preserving the visual richness and diversity of Australia’s avian life.
