This book describes the great lushness and variety of the Australian rainforests and how they came to be. The geology of the landforms and how they gave rise to the incomparable waterfalls, crater lakes and tall mountains are also discussed. How the rainforest works, that is, how to make sense out of the seemingly chaotic and rampant plant growth, is explained. Going beyond the explanations and classifications the photographs and text aim to encourage naturalists and visitors to experience the magic and mystery of these great forests for themselves.
