Dr David Hollands and his wife, Dr Margaret Hollands, have been a successful team--in their professional and family lives. Their working lives and private lives have obviously been closely enmeshed and it is difficult to attribute the success of one in a particular field to one only--somewhere along the line there has been the influence and more often than not the direct help of the other. Country medical practice has provided David Hollands with a deeply satisfying professional life and allowed him to develop his boyhood love of natural history. Although well known in his own locale of Orbost, Victoria, for his medical skill he has recently gained wider recognition as a wildlife photographer with the publication of his two books. His wife, Margaret, will be the subject of next month's Notable Australian Doctors.
