Peter Nicholson

Peter Nicholson produced the original study of the Bare-nosed Wombat in 1960 aged 15 by crawling down burrows and making friends with the inhabitants. The published findings of this inspirational study over the years lead many others to undertake further studies. He became an economist not a zoologist but has continued to champion the cause of further research into wombats and a better understanding of these loveable characters.
