The International Carnivorous Plant Society is pleased to host this archive of CPNA newsletters.

The Carnivorous Plant Newsletter of Australia was edited and published by Ken and Susan Hatley of West Australia from June 1979 until March 1981. This publication died a natural death in March 1981 due to both a lack of contributions and because the editors opened a large retail nursery in Perth that consumed their time.

The object of this scanning project was to conserve these early documents and make them accessible to a broader audience. The volumes were scanned, reconstructed in a word processor, then converted to PDF. There was an attempt to approximate the original document as much as possible, including spelling and typographical errors.
