Tim Bonyhady
AM FAAH FASSA
Emeritus Professor

Professor Tim Bonyhady is one of Australia's foremost environmental lawyers, cultural historians and curators.

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 his first prize-winning book The Colonial Earth he brought his legal and cultural interests together as he examined the origins of environmental concern in Australia. In his next prize-winning book Good Living Street his focus switched to Vienna, with questions of art, religion and identity looming large in a multi-generational family history. Since then, he has written two more prize-winning books, The National Picture: The Art of Tasmania's Black War and The Enchantment of the Long-haired Rat: A Rodent History of Australia. His latest book is Two Afternoons in the Kabul Stadium: A History of Afghanistan through Clothes, Carpets and the Camera.

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 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, the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Gallery of Australia and the Australian National University including one exhibition about colonial portraiture, another about fin-de-siecle Vienna and two devoted to Afghan war rugs.
