LECTURE TITLE:  Flora of the Kimberly Region in North West Australia by Tim Willing

LECTURE SUMMARY: Tim will talk us through the varied habitats of the Kimberley region. Rugged sandstone savannahs dominate this remote corner of tropical Australia. Salt marshes, mangroves, monsoon rainforests and paperbark woodlands add diversity to a sparsely settled region.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:  Botanist Tim willing grew up in Africa and emigrated to Australia in 1973. Over the years he has become a leading expert on the flora of Western Australia, publishing several books and discovering a handful of new species.  He was a government conservation officer for many years but since 2005 he’s been working as a charter boat naturalist.
