My Life as a Naturalist: Eric McCrum (Ballajura)
March 25, 2022 –
‘How fortunate I have been to meet up with so many naturalists when young, who helped to open my eyes to the vast diversity of life on Earth! With Peter Slater, Eric Lindgren and Kevn Griffiths as companions - birds, marine life and fungi became my interests. Whence then the interests in spiders, lichens, clouds, insects, reptiles and geology? And my interest in Aboriginal language, such as relating to the place names of WA towns?’
So what is Eric’s story? Come along and find out from the man himself, who regularly features as a wildlife expert on the 720 ABC Perth radio Breakfast program and was awarded the Centennial Medal in 2001.
