Convicts & Carriageways – Tasmanian Road Development Until 1880 | Lyn Newitt | 1988 [USED – HC – Out of Print]

A history of road building in Tasmania up to 1880, written by Lyn Newitt and published in 1988. The book documents how Tasmania's road network was built using convict labour during the colonial period — the construction gangs, the road stations and probation parties, the engineering challenges of the terrain, and the development of the major routes that still largely define how Tasmanians travel the island today.
