| Louisa Ann Meredith was a keen naturalist who studied the plants (aquatic and land), insects and fish of Tasmania's east coast and was made an honorary member of the Tasmanian Royal Society. She was also a talented illustrator winning numerous national and international awards for her wildflower drawings. Meredith is perhaps best known for being a prolific writer of poetry, journals and even some fiction. She has at least twelve publications to her name, six of which detail the flora and fauna of Australia, especially Tasmania. In 1884 the Tasmanian government awarded her a pension for her 'distinguished literary and artistic services'. |
