Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, Les Robinson, and, has line
drawings and simple keys
Native Plants of the Sydney District An Identification Guide, A. Fairley and
P. Moore, photographs

Above easy to use two books will get most of the plants for you from
Wollongong to Newcastle

Flora of the Sydney Region R. Carolin and M. Tindale, fairly technical but
covers same area

There are several other good guides to rainforest plants, vines etc but the
top two books should get you started easily.

Hi All,

My wife asked me to post this to you wonderful lot. She's after guides 
for both

Wildflowers, and

Trees -- native and non-native.

I told her I thought any book covering all of Aus would be either too 
big or would cover too little. So regional guides would also be good. We 
live in the Sydney Basin.

And she wants a guide that doesn't require specialist knowledge -- ones 
in which it is easy to look up trees and wildflowers even if you don't 
know what they are!

(Any great guides on mushrooms and fungi out there?)

Cheers and thanks in advance,
Gordon Cain, who still isn't sure what's a gum tree and what's eucalypt 
and what's an ironbark. . .
Schofields, NW Sydney
