With a plan to own or manage one per cent of Australia by 2025, Bush Heritage Australia is an organisation with big ambitions. Started by Bob Brown in 1991, Bush Heritage was born from an urgent mission: to protect pristine land from logging. After buying two blocks of land in Tasmania’s Liffey Valley, Brown built a philanthropic organisation to help pay for them. As donations flowed in and the organisation grew, Bush Heritage set its sights on acquiring tracts of land across the country, repairing environmental degradation and bringing native plants and wildlife back to health. Twenty-five years later, with more than one million hectares in its care, Bush Heritage’s achievements are celebrated in this book along with its growth from humble beginnings into a large non-profit with benefactors all over the world. Central to this story are the ecologists, researchers, land managers, local Indigenous groups, staff, donors and a brigade of volunteers who have helped the organisation to thrive.
Sarah Martin's biography of Davis McCaughey follows his life from its wealthy commercial beginnings in Belfast, through his university career to his commitment to the Church as a Presbyterian Minister. His marriage to Jean Henderson, in the last year of her medical degree, was a defining moment that gave him the confidence to follow an individual path throughout his life. With five children in tow, and at the age of 39, he set out to forge a new life in Australia. A fascinating and enigmatic man, Davis McCaughey was equally at home in the theological world and secular world of Melbourne in the 1950s to the 1990s. As Master of Ormond College for twenty years, and as Governor of Victoria for four, McCaughey played a ground-breaking role in Australian public life. Martin's compelling biography explores his character and achievements and his transcendence from deeply conservative roots in Belfast to championing radical student politics in Australia. A pivotal figure in the creation of the Uniting Church in Australia, he was regarded by many, including Manning Clark, as one of the greatest public speakers of his era.
