Some time ago I had the luck to be able to attend a screening at the Hobart Library of the 1980 film Franklin River Journey. This was an iconic film for me, and really set me on my life path, so to speak. Although the film had a voice over by John Bluthal (of Vicar of Dibley fame, and much more), the character portrayed in the film - Antonius Moscal - was real and played himself. He was a housepainter by trade, and a passionate amateur botanist and used to do many collecting trips for TMAG. I've found some papers he co authored, but not much more information. He was a Tasmanian resident, and I am wondering if anyone knows what eventually came of him (and if he is deceased, where he is buried so I can pay my respects). He would be 89 or so if he is still alive.
