| 520 | _a"The wilderness by Amy E. Mack" is a lyrical nature essay written in the early 20th century. Set in a suburban Australian patch of reclaimed garden now overrun by native bush, it celebrates urban wildness—its plants, birds, insects, and nocturnal animals—and argues for the quiet riches of leaving small sanctuaries where nature can thrive. The narrator lovingly traces the seasons in this bush-girt haven: fruit trees mingling with wattles, mistletoe, native cherry, and a beloved white cedar that invites birds to feast and sing. By day the place hums with life—cicadas, butterflies, dragonflies, ants, spiders—and a dazzling array of birds, from bright parrots and honeyeaters to butcher-birds, thrushes, cuckoos, and the gentle mistletoe-bird. At night bandicoots rustle, ring-tailed and big possums travel the treetops, and owls and mopokes hunt in silence, while after rain the creek swells and a comic, exuberant chorus of frogs begins. The piece closes as a quiet plea for keeping such patches wild, showing how even a small refuge in a suburb can shelter a rich, intimate world of living things.
