Join us for the next Green Drinks Bathurst, a relaxed and engaging evening where people interested in the environment, sustainability, and the natural world come together to share ideas, meet new people, and hear from inspiring speakers.

This month we are delighted to welcome Colin Bower, a renowned Australian botanist and orchid expert.

Colin’s passion for natural history began during his university years studying zoology, where he developed a strong interest in bird watching, bushwalking, and conservation. He later specialised in entomology for his PhD before becoming widely known for his groundbreaking research into Australian native orchids and their extraordinary pollination strategies.

Through his work, Colin has helped reveal the remarkable relationships between orchids and insects, particularly how some orchids mimic insects to attract pollinators. His research has contributed significantly to our understanding of plant evolution, ecology, and conservation.
