A Field Guide To Weeds In Australia

Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature

Charles Lamp and Frank Collet’s 1979 classic, A Field Guide to Weeds in Australia, remains the go-to hardcover for gardeners, bushwalkers and students who need to spot invasive plants fast. Every one of its 376 pages is cleanly illustrated, making field identification straightforward across climates and states.

This sturdy second-hand copy arrives with its original dust jacket, bright pages free of marks, dog-ears or tears, and a tight binding that feels barely opened. Light edge-wear on the jacket is the only hint of its forty-plus years on a smoke-free shelf.

Whether you’re restoring native bushland, planning a paddock or simply curious about the botany in your backyard, the guide’s clear photos, range maps and concise notes turn weedy confusion into confident knowledge. A practical reference for Australian outdoor life.
