Burnum Burnum's Wildthings is an essential, beautifully illustrated field guide for anyone looking to explore the natural wonders of the Sydney region. This comprehensive volume simplifies the complex natural history of the area, providing readers with the tools to identify approximately 800 native and introduced species, including plants, birds, and nocturnal mammals. By utilising a practical colour-coded, pictorial key, users of all skill levels can easily navigate the diverse local flora and fauna, from the resilient bushland of the sandstone gorges to the lush pockets of rainforest.
Beyond simple identification, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the landscape and the deep, enduring connection between the land and the Aboriginal people who have called it home for thousands of years. It serves as both a reminder of the fragility of our environment and a celebration of the rich biological diversity that remains. Whether you are a local resident, a student, or a visitor, this guide transforms every walk into an engaging journey of discovery, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the wild things that share our world.
