Your Expert Guide
Tasmanian botanist Danah Leary grew up with prehistoric rainforests and majestic dolerite mountains as her home. She drew early inspiration from the fieldwork of her parents. Later, it would be extensive overseas travel that fuelled her passion for places of cultural and natural significance.
Danah studied fine arts at the University of Tasmania before qualifying as a horticulturist and completing her studies in conservation. From a young age Danah created botanical drawings, deriving endless inspiration from the endemic alpine plants, fungi and fish she saw along the way. Her passion for botany grew with each trip she guided on the Overland Track. She holds a special interest in alpine flora and the symbiotic relationships that have developed over many years.
