Gardening & Environment Science & Nature Australiana
Australia's Remarkable Trees New Edition pairs Richard Allen's lively narrative with Kimbal Baker's lush photography to celebrate forty of the continent's most iconic species. This 2014 updated paperback from Melbourne University Press is a handsome coffee-table volume sized 271 mm tall and packed with 272 illustrated pages.
From river red gums to ancient bunya pines, each profile blends botany, geography and colonial history in language that invites young adults and seasoned gardeners alike. The large-format images reveal bark textures, canopy shapes and seasonal colour shifts that field guides rarely capture, making the book as practical for plant identification as it is inspiring for weekend bushwalks.
Weighing 1.2 kg, this copy remains in very good condition with crisp, unmarked pages and a tight spine, ready to slip into a backpack or display proudly on a shelf. Whether you're a nature lover, traveller, or armchair explorer, Australia's Remarkous Trees delivers a vivid tour of the landscapes that define the continent.
