Naturalists who can paint are a rarity.  Painters who respect the necessity for accuracy in natural history are equally rare.  It is for these reasons we hail Robin Hill, painter and naturalist.  Coupling acute observation and accuracy, with deep understanding of the mystique of nature, Robin Hill has caught the Australian landscape and fauna in a manner for which it is difficult to recall an equal.  This is not an orthodox text book on Australian animals.  It is a venture into the wondrous, largely unknown world of unspoiled Australia where the reptiles, birds, and mammals live out their lives as if man did not exist.
