Abstract Australian Alps is a fascinating guide to Australia's highest mountains and the extraordinary diversity, rich heritage and precious resource of the Australian Alps National Parks. Covering Kosciuszko, Alpine and Namadgi National Parks, author Deirdre Slattery explores the stories of the First Peoples, scientists, historians and conservationists who have worked to protect, raise awareness of and share their knowledge of this unique and important area. This fully revised third edition details the mountains' remarkable and unique natural features; how the rocks, soils, plants and animals have evolved over time; and the dependence of many Australians on their most valuable function - water catchment. Extensively illustrated with both historic and contemporary photographs, Australian Alps is an essential guide for anyone visiting or interested in this spectacular region.
