Banksias And Bilbies Seasons Of Australia
Shipping
Banksias and Bilbies: Seasons of Australia pairs naturalist Alan Reid’s concise text with Alexis Beckett’s luminous illustrations to chart a year in the continent’s wild rhythms. From banksia blooms to bilby burrows, each page distills field botany, wildlife behaviour, and Indigenous ecological knowledge into a compact 81-page hardcover first edition.
Released by the Gould League in 1995, this reference remains a go-to for gardeners, birdwatchers, educators, and collectors seeking an Australian nature guide that doubles as art. The landscape format showcases Beckett’s detailed plates while Reid’s notes highlight seasonal cues for spotting rare flora and fauna.
This copy is crisp: no inscriptions, no smoke odour, pages unmarked and binding tight. A 9781875687268 ISBN ensures you’re holding the true first press, ready to slip onto a bush-lover’s shelf or inspire young adults curious about country.
