“This study is a survey in general, designed to when the appetites of scholar, tourist and lover of nature alike and can in no way give a detailed coverage especially in the field of Botany whose kingdom here has several thousand species which include trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, grasses, ferns and mosses.  Indeed it is from the plenitude of grasses that Mootwingee derived its name, which is Aboriginal for “greengrass”.
