Description:

Publishers Description: The Northern Territory is Australias last frontier. It is a timeless land, a land of contrasts and a land of extremes¦I came to this part of Australia, to the real Australia, an artist searching for inspiration. All about this wonderful land stirs that in the artist which is creative. Rivers of sand carve their way through shimmering blue ranges before spilling out onto vast desert plains. Deep gorges are sculpted by thousands of year of the wet and sandstone escarpments rise abruptly from forests of pandanus and paperbark. All these regions mean one thing to the wildlife artist “ they are home for our unique Australian wildlife. I have walked through, climbed over and paddled along these habitats in search of subject matter for my work. Obviously, in a book such as this, I havent even scratched the surface, as it were. Much more work, over many years, has to be undertaken to give a comprehensive cover of the wildlife of the Northern Territory. I hope this collection pleases you and indeed encourages more people to take notice of our fauna and flora. We need to protect habitats and learn to respect and live with our environment.
