Although swans are found in many parts of the world, the black swan is unique to Australia and no series of books on Australian wildlife would be complete without the story of this interesting and beautiful water-bird.Koonaworra is a male cygnet, hatched from a pale green egg among the rushes of a lake in the heart of Australia s wheat country. Independence comes early to a young black swan and it is only a matter of weeks before Koonaworra is fending for himself in the swan colony.His naturally strong and rather quarrelsome personality is an asset to him as he begins to mature for the fight for survival is far from easy.As young readers follow Koonaworra s many exploits, they will learn a great deal of the life and habits of these remarkable birds. Beautifully illustrated by Margaret Senior, Koonaworra the Black Swan is yet another exciting and authentic story.
