Tim Low |
Tim Low is a well known biologist, environmentalist, writer and photographer. Since 1986 Tim has written a column in Nature Australia, Australia's leading nature magazine. Three of his six books have won national awards and the most recent, "The New Nature: Winners & Losers in Wild Australia" (2002), was listed by Who magazine as one of the Books of the Year. It led the Sydney Morning Herald to call Tim "a classic Australian scientific stirrer".
The publication of Tim's book "Feral Future" led to invitations to speak in Hawaii, Mexico, South Africa and all over Australia. Tim's other books include the best-sellers "Bush Tucker" and "Bush Medicine", and a guide to cooking edible weeds.
Since 1986 Tim has written a column in Nature Australia, the country's leading nature magazine, and he has written columns for various other magazines. He has also contributed chapters to a range of books and published a calendar and more than a thousand nature photos.
Tim travels widely around Australia and overseas, weaving into his writing and public speaking stories from Africa, Asia, North American and Antarctica. His opinions are often sought by journalists. As a teenager he discovered several new lizard species, one of which is named after him.

In 1975 George Lewin invented the Triton Work Bench and established his phenomenally successful company based on this great Australian product.
The business grew, the range expanded and George Lewin built a virtually 100% Australian infrastructure, employing hundreds of people and producing almost $300 million in sales from 1976 to 1999. Total sales are now approaching the $500m mark.
George now lives in his mountain-top home near Byron Bay in Northern New South Wales. Since 2003 he has been involved as a Board member on three not for profit organisations in the Northern New South Wales area, where he mentors and advises inventors, and manages the George Lewin Foundation - which is his philanthropic vehicle for disposing of his considerable wealth to worthwhile local, national and international causes while he is still alive.
