FLORA & FAUNA

Mother Nature was inspired when she created Australia. One of the most diverse countries on the planet, it is home to some of the world's most unique and bizarre flora and fauna. From golden wattle, eucalyptus, Kangaroo Paw and the Sturt's Desert Pea to kangaroos, emus, cuddly koalas and wombats, to more than 750 bird species including Cockatoos, Rosellas and Kookaburras.
