In the cool, misty forests of Victoria, a single Mountain Ash tree rises above the landscape - one of the tallest flowering plants on Earth. This Australian rainforest giant is more than just a tree.
From fallen logs to tree hollows high in the canopy, it forms a living habitat for Australian wildlife. Beetles, bats, possums, gliders, owls and cockatoos all depend on its bark, cavities and branches for survival in this old growth forest ecosystem.
As readers journey upward through the tree, they discover how each layer supports forest animals and life cycles in a complex ecosystem. One ancient Mountain Ash can shelter an entire forest of life.
A beautifully illustrated Australian nature picture book about forest ecology, tree hollows, and wildlife habitat in the Mountain Ash forests of Victoria.
