KANGAROOS
DEDICATION
To my parents, Jack and Rose Dawson, who raised me on the open plains of western
New South Wales; their folk were the ‘pioneers’.
To Geoff Sharman and John Calaby, whose insights and advice got me started on
my researches into kangaroo biology and to all those with whom I spent time at
Fowlers Gap Station and who made my ‘second home’ really remarkable: colleagues,
students, locals, myriad visitors and family.
