Books: Life in the Tall Eucalypt Forests

LITTEF cover

Esther Beaton accompanied David Lindenmayer, a well-known forest ecologist, over a one year period into these virtually unknown forests on Melbourne’s doorstep.

“The photographs are stunning and fully capture the flavour of Mountain Ash forests, and... the words fill your ears with the sound and your nose with the smells of the forest... Life in the Tall Eucalypt Forests represents an excellent collaboration between a photographer and a scientist.”
~ Richard Major, Australian Museum


The Melbourne Water Life in the Tall Eucalypt Forests Exhibition

LITTEF 01

An exhibition of photographs by nature photojournalist Esther Beaton that capture the beauty of the Mountain Ash forests of Victoria’s Central Highlands and the vast number of species, plants, animals, fungi and other microbes that call the eucalypt forest home.

Forty of the best images from the book Life in the Tall Eucalypt Forests were selected for the exhibition, and are available for sale as limited edition prints.

The Exhibition is now featuring permanently at the The Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre. The building is strikingly-designed with local timbers and set among messmate and mountain ash forests.
