Download or read book Little Treasures written by National Library of Australia and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although English naturalist and entrepreneur John Gould spent only 19 months in Australia, from 1838 to 1839, he is well known for his exquisite seven-volume folio, The Birds of Australia (1840-1848), and the eponymous Gould League of Bird Lovers, which has had over one million members since it was founded in 1909. While Gould was in Australia to paint the bird population he also discovered our extraordinary fauna, which he described as being 'as strange as if I had been transported to another planet'. He was so impressed that he produced the three-volume set, The Mammals of Australia (1863), from which these images of the unique creatures that inhabit our shores are taken. With their liquid eyes, tactile fur and gentle demeanour, the paintings in Gould's book have an enduring charm.
Download or read book Topsy turvy World written by Kirsty Murray and published by National Library Australia. This book was released on 2012 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the first Europeans who came to Australia, everything seemed topsy turvy. Christmas was in the summer and trees shed their bark but not their leaves. And the animals were bizarre. There was a bird that laughed like a donkey and a type of greyhound that bound along on its hind legs like a hare. There was an animal in Tasmania whose nocturnal screeches sounded like the devil and a river creature that had a duck's bill at one end and a beaver's tail at the other. The Europeans had never seen anything like these animals before and gave them names similar to those of the European creatures they already knew. They drew and painted odd pictures of them, showing they did not understand the animals' habits. In one illustration, a wombat is standing on its back legs and in another a Tasmanian tiger is wrestling with a platypus of the same size.
