Tree & Shrubs in Rainforests of NSW & Southern Queensland is the 1984 first edition field guide botanists and native-plant lovers reach for when they need reliable rainforest identification. Authors G.J. Harden, W.J.F. McDonald and J.B. Williams combine concise botanical notes with G.J. Harden’s clear line drawings to make spotting subtropical species surprisingly easy.
This vintage illustrated paperback is an excellent quick reference for bushwalkers, gardeners landscaping with natives, and students working on coastal or McPherson Range flora. First editions in the original 1984 print run are getting harder to find, especially ones that have stayed free of annotations and dog-ears.
The cover carries honest reading wear and a small mark inside the front, and there’s a neat hole punch on the publication page—likely from an old library tag. Beyond that, the pages are clean, tightly bound and smoke-free, presenting a solid usable copy rather than a pristine showpiece.
