‘Background Briefings for Travellers’ is a series of articles prepared to cover a range of topics relating to Australian plants and animals, landforms, landscapes and the people who are associated with these including the Aboriginal People, European explorers and pioneers.

The briefings have been prepared by Sandy Scott an author and natural history guide who has travelled widely throughout Australia and many of its islands. He would hope that the information in the posts and blogs enable travellers to better understand the makeup of the places they visit and so increase the enjoyment of the experience.
