This authoritative volume in Australian ornithology presents detailed life histories, behavioural patterns, and habitat profiles of bird species inhabiting the elevated regions from Goulburn through the ACT to the Victorian Alps. Edited by H.J. Frith and illustrated by Betty Temple Watts, the book documents over 100 species with scientific precision and artistic clarity, combining field research with full-colour plates and distribution maps. It argues for the ecological significance of high country avifauna, illustrating how altitude, climate, and vegetation shape evolutionary adaptation and seasonal movement. The text instructs both amateur birders and professional ecologists in identification, nesting habits, and conservation concerns. As a landmark reference in regional field biology, it remains essential for understanding Australia’s montane ecosystems.
