160 Pages Indexed. Navy boards with silver titles; Picture of desert oak tree on Cover; This volume is one in a series of books describing countries of the world- their natural resources, peoples, histories, economies and governments. Topographical and state maps on endcovers; black and white and color illustrations. To many biologists, the Australian continent is the most interesting region in the world. Its flora and fauna are a bizarre mixture of the primitive and the advanced, and provide better glimpses into some of the basic processes of evolution than those of any other continental area. All this is set down in an absorbing text with many striking illustrations.

Australia is the smallest continent in the world, but one of the largest islands. Most people live along the coast, as close as possible to the sea. Many who live inland are so far from the nearest town that they do their schoolwork at home. This ancient land is home to many unusual animals-kangaroos and koalas (marsupials that carry their young in pouches), platypuses (mammals that lay eggs and have the bill and webbed feet of a duck) and funnel webs (spiders that can kill humans with their deadly venom). In summer time surfboard riders take to the waves, a bushfire alert may mean that people can't light outdoor fires, and thousands of fans flock to cricket matches. Find out where the six states are on the colorful maps and look out for the stickers in the middle of the book.
