IAN HAS LONG CHAMPIONED OUR

WONDERFUL TALES AND SCIENTIFIC SECRETS OF DOZENS OF FAVOURITE LOCAL SPECIES.
PETER'S PAINTINGS BRING THE SUBJECTS TO LIFE, THOROUGHLY COMPLEMENTING AND
ENHANCING IAN'S WORDS.
For COG, FOG, ACTHA, ANPS and ANBG members
over 35 birds, 20 plant species, ten reptiles and frogs are featured. Peter
depicts virtually countless associations with minature, medium and larger
paintings that show his naturalist's flair is as vibrant as Ian's.There are
ten stories for each month of the year, ideal for our own learning or for
sharing with each generation.
In the style so regularly heard on
ABC's 666 Radio Ian will illustrate his passion for our own
habitats and wildlife and reiterate the role we
can all play in re-connecting people with the natural world around
us.
