Illustrated by
Mark Wilson.
Concerned over the dwindling population of Yellow-eye fish in Lake Plenty, government officials meet with the local Aboriginal Council. Although the story veneer is thin and flat, the information about the synthesis of traditional knowledge and scientific investigation has enough inherent interest and value to carry the book. The illustrations are serviceable in establishing the Australian bush context.
