The Beauty and Fragility of the Central Highlands
This large format book pairs David Lindenmayer's writing with photography from Chris Taylor, Sarah Rees and Steve Kuiter to document the Mountain Ash forests of Victoria's Central Highlands. It moves through ancient Gondwanan rainforest remnants, snow gum plateaus and volcanic landscapes, alongside the unique wildlife these forests support.
The book also addresses the pressures facing the region, including logging and the impact of the 2009 Black Saturday fires, and acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Taungurung and Wurundjeri peoples who have cared for this country for millennia. It suits readers interested in Australian landscapes and conservation who appreciate a strong photographic component alongside the text.
