Distinguished and Famous people from Cook
Vera Scarth-Johnson
Botanical artist Vera Scarth-Johnson moved to Cooktown in 1972, beginning an extraordinary later-life project: painting the plants of the Endeavour River district. She collected specimens for herbaria and worked with Guugu Yimithirr friends to record local knowledge of plants. Her paintings became a gift to the community. Detailed observation linked art with botany in her work, while the district’s flora supplied more subjects than one lifetime could comfortably accommodate. She received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1995.
