| Description : |
Julian Edmund Tenison-Woods was the son of a London lawyer. He arrived in Adelaide in 1855 and worked as a newspaper editor before entering the Catholic seminary at Sevenhill. He was ordained a priest in 1857 and his first parish was in the south-east of the state, covering 20,000 square miles centred around the town of Penola. Tenison-Woods was deeply interested in geology, palaeontology and zoology. He travelled across Australia and through South East Asia making observations, and witnessed the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883. Woods wrote over 150 papers for journals and learned societies about his studies. This is the earliest of Woods' scientific publications, based on observations he made during the time he was parish priest at Penola. |
