Looking for Good Aus Natural History Book
Hi folks, Oh would love a book about Australian wildlife and plants. Been trying to source one for Father's Day but the ones I've found tend to be just a few arty shots. What he'd really like is something he can use as a reference so that whaen he sees a bird/insect/plant etc, he can look it up and identify it.
Anyone got any recommendations?
cheers
