Gail's first sight of Ayers Rock was something she would never forget, the climax to an eventful journey which had taken her hundreds of miles from her home in Sydney to the very heart of Australia. She had visited many interesting places on her way, including the township of Alice Springs, the headquarters of the Flying Doctor Service, and a vast outback cattle station. She had even been caught in a dust storm and talked to a group of friendly aboriginal children. Now that she had reached the great red rock, Ayers Rock, towering above the surrounding Central Australian landscape, Gail knew that her adventures were almost over. This pictorial record of an exciting journey has many spectacular photographs in color, which will enable young readers to share with Gail the wonders of Central Australia, with its vivid and dramatic landscape, its friendly people, and, above all, its most unique feature, Ayers Rock, the largest single rock in the world.

Excerpt from The Home-Life of a Golden EagleThere was no food at the eyrie, and the nest was marvellously clean, while a quantity of fresh heather had evidently been added recently during incubation.After photographing the nest and eggs from both sides, we carefully examined the surroundings and found a place where, among the stones, the camera might be hidden on a subsequent occasion to obtain a view of the sitting bird. A small pile of rocks was therefore arranged at the spot, so that the Eagles might become accustomed to the structure which eventually was to conceal the camera from their sight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
