Unique Continent - Australian Environmental Studies: Plants Through the Ages provides an overview of Australia's environment from its origins through modern times and offers a look at its possible future.

As time passed, Australia experienced dryer weather, and in its present condition is characterized by its desert regions and infertile soils.
