Starting from a passion for NT's native flora, John Brock (with the aid of his supporters) created a comprehensive guide on native flora of Northern Australia and published it in 1988.
His book has become a staple in households and libraries across the NT, earning a reputation as the go-to resource for anyone seeking to explore and understand the diverse plant life of the area. From plant enthusiasts to seasoned botanists, it seems everyone in the Territory has a well-thumbed copy of Brock's tome on their bookshelf. As Brock continues to update and expand his work, his legacy as a champion of Northern Australia's botanical treasures is sure to endure for generations to come.
Don't miss the chance to meet John Brock at our next author talk happening at Casuarina Library on at 6 pm Thursday, 11 July!
