Historical Background
The Australian bush holds secrets of unique fauna, symbolized by extraordinary creatures.
Kangaroos are an integral part of the landscape. Their powerful hind legs and pouches, in which they carry their young, make them icons of Australian nature.
Koalas, adorable creatures fixated on eucalyptus leaves, exude calm and gentleness. Their soft fur and tranquil lifestyle are iconic elements of the Australian landscape that attract attention and evoke tenderness.
One cannot forget the kookaburra, a bird known not only for its beautiful plumage but also for its characteristic "laughing" call that echoes through the bush, reminding us of nature's vibrant presence.
These unique creatures are just a glimpse of the richness of Australian fauna, which hides many other unique animal species.
