Ningaloo

Tim Winton; Cindy Lane

Join award-winning author and passionate conservationist Tim Winton and watercolourist Cindy Lane as they dive into this incredible part of the world. From enormous whale sharks to minuscule Cape Range Millipedes, and from colourful coral reefs to muddy mangroves, the biodiversity and interconnectedness of each distinctive ecosystem will fill young readers with wonder and awe.
Most importantly, as the next generation of custodians of Ningaloo, they’ll discover how to support and protect the region in the years to come.

‘Lane’s beautifully realistic illustrations are rich with layered detail, drawing readers into the vibrant reef. The pages are filled with fascinating facts about sea creatures, diverse fauna and stories of the First Nations peoples and their long history with the reef.’
