Gardening & Environment Science & Nature Australiana
Banksias and Bilbies: Seasons of Australia by Alan Reid pairs lively Gould League text with Alexis Beckett’s full-page colour plates to trace a year in the continent’s wild gardens and the creatures that depend on them. This 1995 first-edition hardcover is the sort of nature reference that birdwatchers, gardeners and young naturalists happily share a shelf.
From banksia flowering cycles to bilby night habits, Reid weaves botany, ecology and Aboriginal perspectives into 81 crisp pages. The sturdy library-quality binding stands open on a picnic table or desk, and every spread invites closer inspection of Australia’s distinctive flora and fauna.
The book is in very good, unread condition—pages clean, corners sharp, no inscriptions, ex-library marks or smoky scent. A tight copy ready for gifting, field-bag duty or your Australiana collection.
