Australia's Remarkable Trees explores the extraordinary lives of fifty of Australia's oldest, largest and most unusual trees. Richly illustrated with more than 500 photographs, writer Richard Allen and photographer Kimbal Baker went to the far reaches of Australia--travelling more than 60 000 kilometres--to photograph them and tell their stories.

Australia's Remarkable Trees is not just a celebration of Australia's great trees. It also prompts us to look to the future to see what lies in store for them. It is a call to arms to preserve and protect our oldest and most magnificent living things, and the forests and wilderness in which they live.

Richard Allen has been a journalist for twenty years and has written on a wide variety of subjects for the Australian Financial Review, the Age, Good Weekend Magazine, the Sunday Telegraph (UK) and *BRW. His previous books include Shimmering Spokes: One Australian’s 16 000 Kilometre Odyssey* and Recollections of a Remarkable Age.
