Prize-winning nature writer Andrew Darby takes us on an island odyssey to discover the world's oldest surviving trees in his latest book The Ancients. It tells the story of their exploitation and loss to fire, and the people fighting to protect them.
His second book, Flight Lines was an investigation of long-distance migratory shorebirds. It won the Royal Zoological Society of NSW's Whitley Award, the Tasmanian Premier's Prize for Non-fiction, and was short-listed for the Australian Prime Minister's Literary Awards.
