Thomas Bather Moore (1850 – 1919) was a pioneer explorer of Western and South West, Tasmania, Australia.
He had been a prospector,[3] track cutter, botanist, geographer and geologist – all mainly in West Coast, Tasmania area.
[6] He had been considered one of the most experienced of Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company's track cutters.
In part of the dedication Charles Whitham states: Thomas Moore was the first in place, though not in time, of those who have explored Western Tasmania.
He traversed every portion of the territory, sometimes as a prospector.... his knowledge of this region was never equalled by any other, and will never be surpassed.He named many features including Mount Strahan, the Thureau Hills and the Tofft River which runs between those hills and Mount Huxley.
