A fascinating journey into Australia's deep zoological past, Prehistoric Animals of Australia presents a richly illustrated account of the megafauna and ancient creatures that once roamed the continent millions of years before European settlement.

Edited by Susan Quirk and Michael Archer, two prominent figures in Australian palaeontology, the book chronicles the evolutionary history of iconic prehistoric beasts — from giant marsupials to ancient reptiles — drawing on the latest fossil evidence available at the time of publication. Authoritative yet accessible, it remains a landmark reference for anyone captivated by Australia's extraordinary prehistoric wildlife heritage.
