Have you heard about the red-eyed green tree frog that lives high in the rainforest canopy? Or the ants that weave threads of silk? Or the pigeons from New Guinea that feed on quandongs and nutmeg? Uncover the secrets of a Queensland rainforest with artists, Warren Brim and Anna Eglitis, as they journey across culture and reveal the remarkable array of creatures that inhabit the rooftops of the tropics, its tangled undergrowth and the depths of its rivers.

There are many books on traditional Aboriginal art in Australia, but this book is unique because it combines Torres Strait Islander art works with Aboriginal art. It also shows the strong tropical influence of Far North Queensland. The artists strive to retain loyal cross-cultural philosophies. This book is destined to become an historic milestone in the showcasing of indigenous Queensland artists and is a credit to Anna Eglitis' ATSI Art School in Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE.
