-
Luscombe, a native seed collector, speaks of his move in 1966 from Cohuna, Vic. to the southwest of Western Australia as a teenager with his parents to live; developing an interest at that age in collecting native plant seeds from around the district and growing plants; writing to Nindethana Seed Service, a native seed company offering his services as a collector; starting his own seed bank and soon being big enough to receive orders for bulk seed from overseas; in 1976 taking over the Nindethana Seed Service business; being involved with a small group in the early 1980s who successfully prevented the clearing of more than 3 million hectare of woodlands for unstainable agriculture; the upturn in the native seed business over recent decades; the emphasis of his work in recent years shifting from supplying native seed for nursery production to bulk seed supply for revegetation.
