Know Australia's Venomous Wildlife

Written by toxicologist Struan Sutherland with Susie Kennewell, this long running Australian guide covers the animals most likely to cause a nasty sting or bite, among them wasps, bees, ants, spiders, snakes and the blue ringed octopus. Each entry explains what the animal looks like, where it lives and how to avoid an encounter in the first place.

Alongside identification the book sets out clear first aid steps for bites and stings, making it as much a safety reference as a nature guide. It suits families, school groups and anyone spending time in Australian bush or coastal areas who wants practical, no nonsense information rather than a full field guide.
