Product details

This book is one of very few giving advice on where to see Australia's unique mammalian fauna.
It is made up of three main sections. Split between the first and very last part is advice on watching mammals in general and travel tips. These are quite brief.
Then comes a detailed state by state overview of key mammal watching sites, pointing out key species that can ir might be seen at each. This is pretty good, though I would have found it better if accompanied by at least basic maps of each site. There are also additional boxed texts on seeing the most popular species, as well as bats or whales in each state.
The second half is a species by species overview of Australia's mammals, with comments on where each one might be seen. The latter is usually just a list of key spots/reserves, and in the case of elusive, small mammals unlikely to be actually seen, notes on their distribution.
Overall, the book's very ambitious scope means detail had to be cut back, but it is still a very useful resource and highly recommended.
Very intresting.
