    For your enjoyment a set of photographs of the Tasmanian wilderness by the photographer [Dombrovskis, Peter, 1945-1996] housed in the National library Australia picture collection. There are many other botanical pictures to look at.

    "Dombrovskis was an environmentalist with a deep love of Tasmania, and his photographs were instrumental in the conservation of many of the state’s wilderness areas. While most of the works in this recent purchase are of Tasmania, an image of Satinay Forest, Fraser Island, Queensland is included."
    News letter of the National Library of Australia

    When you get to this web page put in the name " Dombrovskis " in the search area and it will bring up the rest.

    You might try some other Latin names for plants. I put in Banksia and got some really nice early colonial pics.
