I AM CURRENTLY IN FAR WESTERN NSW WITH NO INTERNET. I'LL BE BACK IN SYDNEY ON MARCH 29TH AND WILL RESPOND TO ALL NOTIFICATIONS AND MESSAGES THEN

Avid beachcomber and naturalist. Most of my observations are made in Sydney, but I also frequent the Port Macquarie Hastings region on the NSW mid-north coast. I'm currently a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales, working on knowledge of Australian plants + how to improve this knowledge.

Check out my seashell field guide I published after four years of collecting and writing. I've also written a short e-book about scientific etymology entitled 'It's Helico-pter, not Heli-copter: A Beginner's Guide to Deconstructing Scientific Words and Names', which is available here for the US, and here for Australian users.

I just finished working on a two year comprehensive survey of Wategora Reserve in southwestern Sydney. The reserve contains the critically endangered Cooks River Clay Plain Scrub Forest community, of which less than 1% of its original extent remains, and is threatened on all sides by urban expansion. You can read about the survey, and download my final 430 page report and annotated/illustrated checklist, at my website Duck River Biodiversity Survey.

I created the First Known Photographs of Living Specimens project, check it out for some amazing observations from all around the world. I also recently made a project for tracking undescribed Australian plant species.

I organised the City Nature Challenge and the Great Southern BioBlitz for Sydney from 2020-2022.

If you ever find yourself in Sydney, shoot me a message and I'd be more than happy to show you all the best spots :)
