Professor Henry Nix and wife Katherine Nix on scientific field trip – Alexander Watson.

The Wild Country Science team is currently on survey work in the magnificent woodlands east of the wheatbelt. Distinguished biologist Henry Nix, pictured with his wife Katherine, had the opportunity to spend time in the shade of ‘Big Bertha’, one of the many ancient Salmon Gums growing in the area. This tree is thought to be over 500 years old.
