'A record of the development of Australia's ancient land crust into its present continental form.  Superb photographs magnificently illustrate the evolution of the Australian continent, its landscape, plants and animals.  According to the latest scientific data, Australia's geological journey has taken it to both poles twice.  During this process of 'continental drift', the land has suffered monumental upheaval and some of evolution's boldest experiments are registered in its unique fossil record.'
