Guide to Native Orchids of Victoria
This comprehensive guide describes the 447 species of wild orchids that occur in Victoria, Australia. This region is one of the richest in the world for its diversity of temperate terrestrial orchids. Orchid diversity in Victoria spans some of the smallest to some of the largest orchids in Australia, from the minute Mallacoota Midge Orchid, with flowers just 2 mm across, to the large King Orchid, with big plants having hundreds of fragrant flowers and weighing many kilograms. Guide to Native Orchids of Victoria includes brief descriptions on all species, enabling their identification in the field. With more than 460 photographs of wild orchids in their natural habitat and distribution maps for almost all species, this guide will delight and inspire anyone interested in orchids.
150 Walks in Victoria
Following seven editions of 120 Walks in Victoria, Tyrone Thomas, in association with Andrew Close, has gathered the best Victoria has to offer in 150 Walks in Victoria. Organised by region, there are walks for every level of fitness, with each walk graded easy, medium or hard. All the classics are here, as well as some lesserknown gems, including the Great Dividing Trail from Daylesford to Bendigo, and the Surf Coast Walk from Torquay to Moggs Creek. Fourteen of the selected walks involve overnight stays to suit campers. Detailed route directions, track notes and time estimates give you all the information you need to tackle these walks with confidence.

Like Volume 1, it offers an intimate and absorbing insight into nineteenth-century Australia.

First, why Australia's eight capital cities are situated where they are, and second, how they were established. Pairs of chapters on each of the State capitals - Sydney, Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane - are accompanied by studies of Canberra as the federal capital and Darwin as a territorial capital. A capital is the administrative centre of a political entity, and in Australia, unlike many overseas countries, a uniquely high proportion of the population resides in the capitals. Companion chapters examine the causes of initial Europea...
Sacred Places
Memorials to Australian participation in wars abound in our landscape. From Melbourne's huge Shrine of Remembrance to the modest marble soldier, obelisk or memorial hall in suburb and country town, they mourn and honour Australians who have served and died for their country. Surprisingly, they have largely escaped scrutiny. Ken Inglis argues that the imagery, rituals and rhetoric generated around memorials constitute a civil religion, a cult of ANZAC.
