A Bushland Chorography - or the drawings for my PhD

Now that I have been officially awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Natural History Illustration I feel I can finally share the body of illustrations that made up my PhD (these were assessed along with a 45,000 word exegesis which described the research, context and production of the illustrations).

Below is a small selection of the individual illustrations...

...but these individual illustrations were actually presented together in a webpage, which formed a chorography (reduced to very simple terms, chorography means the description of a region) of the bushland on Callaghan Campus of the University of Newcastle.
