After working briefly for the Bureau of Meteorology in Melbourne (1959-1961), he was employed for eleven years by the Forests Department in Bulolo and the Division of Botany in Lae, Papua New Guinea. It was during this time that he became interested in botany, particularly cryptogams and island floras. During his term as Botanist at the Australian National Herbarium Streimann expanded the cryptogam collections from 14 packets to one of the largest in Australia, comprising more than 65,000 specimens. He collected widely in eastern Australia and on Australia's off-shore islands. With Judith Curnow he published (1989) the Catalogue of the mosses of Australia and its external territories, a milestone in our knowledge of Australian mosses. Streimann's exsiccatae of cryptogams were issued as 17 fascicles representing 500 numbers. 1950 1950 Life event - Migrated with his family to Australia 1971 1972 Career position - Botanist, Division of Botany, Lae, Papua New Guinea 1972 1993 Career position - Botanist, Herbarium, National Botanic Gardens, Canberra 1981 1983 Career position - Visiting Lecturer, Bulolo Forestry College, Papua New Guinea 1993 2000 Career position - Botanist, Australian National Herbarium, CSIRO Centre of Plant Diversity Research 2000 2000 Life event - Retired Australian National Herbarium (1984 - )
