Professor Tim Bonyhady is one of Australia’s foremost environmental lawyers and cultural historians.

His first major legal book, The Law of the Countryside: the Rights of the Public, focused on British law. Otherwise his domain has been Australian environmental law, focusing on property rights in Environmental Protection and Legal Change; on third parties in Places Worth Keeping: Conservationists, Politics and Law, and on climate law and environmental impact assessment in Climate Law in Australia, Adaptation to Climate Change and Mills, Mines and other Controversies.

Tim’s research also involves many aspects of cultural history. Australian colonial art was the subject of his first three books. Then his interests extended to art, science and exploration in Burke and Wills: From Melbourne to Myth. In The Colonial Earth he brought his legal and cultural interests together as he examined the origins of environmental concern in Australia. In Good Living Street his focus switched to Vienna, with questions of art, religion and identity looming large in a multi- generational family history.

Tim has also been an advisor to Commonwealth and State inquiries into environmental law and has curated exhibitions for the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, the National Library of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria.
