THE FIRST BOOK OF AUSTRALIA

Written by a native of Australia, this is a compact book which describes the vast island continent of the Southern hemisphere. Its cities, its aborigines, its wildlife, the facilities it offers for work and recreation are portrayed here with enthusiasm and familiarity. A thorough and illuminating study of this continent of contrasts, a continent which shares much in common with our own and yet which is dramatically distinct from anything to be found in the Northern hemisphere.
