Field Guide to Wildlife of the Australian Snow Country by Ken Green and William Osborne

This is a comprehensive guide to Australia’s snow country fauna and environment. Now completely updated to include the many changes that have occurred to the environment since the first edition was released in 1994.
This edition includes exploring the inter-relationships between snow cover and wildlife as well as detailed descriptions of the animal species, including their distribution, breeding, food and habitats. Updates include: the visible impacts of climate change on animal species and habitats, the decline of high mountain frogs due to the chytrid fungus and loss of snow gums due to wood-boring beetles.
This is an indispensable guide for professionals and amateur naturalists.
