Rodger Elliot’s A Field Guide to the Grampians Flora is the 1984 illustrated paperback that bush-walkers and gardeners reach for when they need to name the wildflowers of Victoria’s ranges. Every page is clean, the 144-page binding tight, and the copy comes from a smoke-free home, ready to slip into a day-pack or glovebox.
Inside, Elliot pairs concise botanical notes with precise line drawings, making plant identification straightforward for beginners yet accurate enough for seasoned naturalists. The guide covers herbs, shrubs and showy orchids found only in the Grampians’ rocky gullies and open woodlands, turning a weekend hike into a botanical treasure hunt.
Whether you’re a young adult planning your first trek or an experienced gardener curious about indigenous species, this reference delivers practical knowledge without the technical jargon. No inscriptions, no library marks—just a well-loved field companion waiting for the next trailhead.
