LECTURE AND BOOK LAUNCH
Australia’s First Naturalists: Indigenous Peoples’ Contribution to Early Zoology
By Penny Olsen and Lynette Russell
This book gathers together Aboriginal peoples’ contributions to early European explorers, collectors and illustrators to demonstrate the crucial role they played in early Australian zoology. Aboriginal Australians gave Europeans their first views of iconic animals, such as the Koala and Superb Lyrebird, and helped unravel the mystery of egg-laying mammals: the Echidna and Platypus.
Join authors Penny Olsen and Lynette Russell as they discuss this fascinating and largely untold aspect of Australia’s history.
