Australia's Ecosystem!

Australian animals live in a very special ecosystem that is unlike any other in the world. We have many animals that are endemic to this huge island. We may not have the glamorous "Big Cats" of Africa but we do have some wonderful animals that have developed their own way to survive the harsh environment of this great continent. Australian animals have evolved in isolation and so have a unique and individual character.

As well as the Animals you will also find a great collection of Australian plants, trees, Geographic features, habitats and people working in the environment.

Many million years ago Australia was almost completely covered in rainforest, although much of this dried out as Australia moved towards the warmer climate. At present Australia is the driest continent on this earth with the majority of the population living round the coastal fringe.

Australia has a huge range of temperatures from north to south. The tropical north with it's classic wet seasons down to the cool temperate climate along the south coast and Tasmania. This variation gives great diversity to the flora and fauna.

We have collect quality images of over 5000 different species of mainly Australian animals and 2500 different species of plant that live in this great land.

Over the 200 plus years of European settlement plants and animals from around the world have been introduced into the Australian Environment, more often than not with disastrous results. We have many images that reflect the ever-changing nature of this environment.

One of the great benefits of having such a strong nature focus is that we work with these beautiful images of Australian animals. We hope that you enjoy our great collection.
