Author Information

The popular natural history book was first conceived in the 1970s, after members of the Launceston Field Naturalists Club realised that there was no guide available specifically for Tasmanian flora. John Simmons, always a forward thinker, worked tirelessly with his wife Marion and many Club members and other supporters to produce the first edition. Since then club members have continued to improve and update the book on a regular basis.
