“Australia is the oldest continent – and the strangest.  Her aboriginal people are of the Stone Age, the oldest inhabitants on earth.  Her geological structure is distinctive, her plant life contains much that is unique; and her amazing wildlife (‘the animals Noah forgot’, was ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s phrase) has never ceased to fascinated scientists and visitors – and Australians themselves.”
