Georgiana Molloy is best known as one of Australia's first and most successful botanist. As a pioneer settler in Augusta and later Vasse River, Molloy and her family endured significant hardship. Yet remarkably she was the first to study and identify many of Western Australia's wildflowers.

Georgiana Molloy's entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography is also written by Alexandra Hasluck. Dame Hasluck herself is included in the Australian Dictionary of Biography for her significance as a historian, biographer and short story writer.
