Nature Studies in Australia

Description

William Gillies brings the bush and beach to life with story-rich chapters that begin at the railway siding with swallows and martins and end on wind-washed shores and quiet ponds. Children meet returning spring birds, trace great migrations, and watch how balance is kept when friendly “police” like ibis and small insect-eaters go to work. They explore beach drifts, tide pools, and creek edges; discover worms, snails, ants, bees, moths, spiders, fish, frogs, and lizards; and learn why careful method matters as much as curiosity. The tone is warm, exact, and Australian through and through.
Readers gain more than facts: this book trains attention, links observation to meaning, and grows gratitude for our “wonderful world”—turning everyday walks into thoughtful, joyful discovery.
