Wildflowers, Weeds & Wilderness: The Legend of Florence Perrin | Tabatha Badger
Fullers Bookshop, 131 Collins Street, Hobart, TAS 7000
Florence Perrin (1884-1952) was many things: a bushwalker, botanic researcher, philanthropist and photographer. Why then did this prolific Tasmanian’s name almost disappear from recent history while her male friends, such as Gustav Weindorfer, Paddy Harnett and Steven Spurling III, became our household wilderness heroes? This is the first compilation of Florence’s adventurous, busy life and her photographs. It will no doubt, not be the last.
“Thanks to Tabatha Badger’s biography (how I love it!) the mists of disregard have cleared and we are all able to go back to the mountains of Florence Perrin’s remarkable career.” – Bob Brown
An ardent bushwalker and wilderness mountain photographer, Tabatha Badger worked in conservation and land management, has a Masters in Tourism, and directed the multi-international award nominee (it may have won by the time you read this) film, Pedder. In 2024 Tabatha was elected to the Tasmanian Parliament in the seat of Lyons. She lives by a river in Ellendale.
Tabatha will be in conversation with Christine Milne (AO), former senator for Tasmania and leader of the Greens.
