Description
A year-long adventure across Australia in a camper van is the backdrop to this highly personal account of birdwatching and travel. Bruce Richardson and his wife Lynn set out to see as many birds as they could, but their journey was about more than just ticking off species - it was about experiencing the stunning diversity of the country's people, places, and wildlife.
From the Gang-gang Cockatoos that flew over their son's yard in Torquay, Victoria, to the Speckled Warbler they spotted on a chilly morning back in Victoria, Bruce's list of 638 species is just one part of this engaging narrative. The book is full of original and imaginative descriptions of birds, places, and people, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in nature, travel, or simply the joy of discovery.
