Australia's Ecosystem!
Australia's 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 pictures of wildlife 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 north.
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 collected
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 pictures of wildlife. We hope
that you enjoy our great collection. If you have any questions please
