From what I've read, each section is interesting and accurate. Though I would have liked to see more about the koalas ....even though they are apparently an introduced species. (As is the platypus). I was especially fascinated by the giant undersea canyons apparently caused by the Murray River and the changing sea levels over thousand of years.
Unfortunately time is closing in upon me and I don't think I'm going to be able to wish-fulfil and read this thoroughly so I'm passing it on to Satoru in Japan who will really appreciate it. Four stars from me.… (altro)
