    About the Book

    Edit

    A journey of 1850km from Halls Creek south to Wiluna down the iconic Canning Stock Route in Western Australia. We crossed about 900 sand dunes and inspected most of Canning's wells. As a horticulturist my book also includes the flora that I found and photographed in this desert area.

    David Young
    Canberra, ACT. Australia

    I graduated Burnley Horticultural College, Melbourne, Victoria, 1966. Became the Seed Collector at Kings Park, Perth, WA. I travelled all over WA. In 1968, moved to Canberra, ACT, to the Seed Section, Forest Research Institute. There I travelled all over Australia, and to Timor, my first overseas trip. Next, the Seed Section, Australian National Botanic Gardens. I took a posting in 1979 to Kathmandu, with the Nepal-Australia Forestry Project, to oversee the building of a national seed store, and help establish community nurseries. I returned from Nepal to the ACT Parks and Conservation Service, Canberra. A Churchill Fellowship Awarded 1986, enabled travel to the UK, Holland and USA. In 1993, I was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for my ‘services to urban horticulture'. My horticultural media career lead to public speaking and leading garden tours all over the world. I retired in 2009, but continued travelling, often to places off-the-beaten-track, such as the Simpson Desert.
