BiographyHistory

'Michael Stanley Reid Sharland (1899-1987), naturalist, conservationist, journalist and photographer, was born on 14 June 1899 at Bellerive, Hobart, fourth child of Tasmanian-born parents Alfred Fullarton Sharland, architect, and his wife Violet Agnes, née Scott.  William Stanley Sharland and James Reid Scott were his grandfathers; Charles Schaw was his great-grandfather.  Although a member of elite Tasmanian families, Stan knew straitened circumstances; his education, at Campbell Town, went only to government-school primary level.  Working on his father’s pastoral run, he developed a strong feeling for nature.'
