Covering hundreds of species including lichens, mosses, fungi, trees, shrubs and orchids, 'Rainforests of Australia’s East Coast' demonstrates that rainforests are self‐sustaining ecosystems that rely on a myriad of associations to reproduce and survive.

It aims to raise interest in the great diversity, primeval origins and uniqueness of Australian rainforests and is a valuable information source for bushwalkers and anyone with an interest in Australia’s native flora, as well as for gardeners and horticulturalists.

Peter Krisch is an expert on Australian trees and shrubs, having studied and photographed them for many years. His first book was Green Guide to Trees of Australia, published by Reed New Holland.

Peter Krisch

Peter Krisch’s fascination with native Australian trees and shrubs began nearly 30 years ago, mainly due to the tranquility of undisturbed old growth forest can provide. Living on a property in northern New South Wales, which has the luxury of still containing a pocket of nearly undisturbed subtropical rainforest, started the interest in the ability to identify native species, which has developed into a more serious botanical pursuit in recent times.
