Abstract

For the people of the northern hemisphere, Australia conjures images of huge expanses of red earth, big skies, heat, brightly coloured birds, eucalyptus, and a myriad of animals quite foreign to the wildlife of the North. Combined with the Dreamtime of the Aborigines, the continent has something of the magical. In 1990 there are also, of course, the cosmopolitan cities scattered along the coastline where the climate is more temperate.
