Flying Fox & Drifting Sand - The Adventures Of A Biologist In Australia
By Francis Ratcliffe
Published by Angus & Robertson: Sydney 1953

" Australian Caves, Cliffs and Waterfalls by Charles Barrett, published by Georgian House, Melbourne, in 1944 (first edition), is a striking exploration of some of Australia's most dramatic natural formations. Written by one of the country's most respected naturalists and travel writers, this volume combines descriptive prose with a keen sense of scientific observation. Barrett leads the reader through the subterranean grandeur of the Jenolan and Buchan caves, the towering sea cliffs of Tasmania, and the majestic waterfalls of New South Wales and Victoria. His writing blends geological insight with lyrical appreciation for the wild beauty of Australia's landscape.

Lavishly illustrated with full-page photographic plates, this 1940s production captures the wonder of the nation's hidden and elevated worlds at a time when much of Australia was still being explored and documented. An enduringly appealing title for collectors of Australian natural history, travel writing, and mid-century illustrated works on geography and geology. "
