Seed to Sky: Life in the Daintree
From the award-winning creators of Desert Lake and Dry to Dry, a spectacular two-century journey into the Daintree Rainforest, and the life cycle of the extraordinary Bull Kauri Pine. Bull Kauri Pine trees have been growing in Australia for more than 200 million years. They survived the extinction of the dinosaurs, and are one of the oldest tree species in the world. Full grown trees can be up to 600 years old. This vibrantly illustrated book follows a Bull Kauri seed from germination in the Daintree 200 years ago, to developing into a tree that soars up to the sky above the tree canopy. Featuring an abundance of fauna, including bountiful butterflies, wonderful birds from owls to cassowaries, geckos, monitors and lizards, this lyrical and informative book captures the verdant magic and majesty of the rainforest.
