Australia's native plants have learned to survive in our harshest environments, from the driest corners of the outback to the humid forests of northern Queensland. Over time, they have adapted and adjusted to every imaginable threat.

In this book you will discover seeds that need fire to crack open, encounter carnivorous plants that eat insects, and others that can be used to make a drink for sore throats. Inside of this book, you will find the tools, both modern and Indigenous, to understand and navigate the difficulties ahead as we learn to live with Earth’s internal and powerful forces.

Rest assured, you will never see nature the same way after reading this book.
