OverviewMeanderings in the Bush describes the periodic natural history explorations of an American academic ecologist, his geographer wife, and their Australian-born son in the remote Channel Country of the Lake Eyre Basin, and other outback regions, over a period of 36 years, commencing in 1966. The authors describe their many adventures and misadventures in the region, with its climate, its animals and its human inhabitants. They also discuss results of their research which reveals some of the secrets for survival of many of the native animals, including marsupials, rodents, birds, and the remarkable desert crab. These studies are cast in the light of both the prehistoric and historic records of the Lake Eyre Basin, including the probable impacts of changing and/or stable climates, Aboriginal occupation, later European pastoral development, and the influences of introduced exotic mammals.
