Just Tassie Books

Rees Campbell's guide to foraging and cooking wild Tasmanian ingredients — revised and expanded in this 2022 edition to include more information on Tasmanian Aboriginal uses of wild plants, with palawa kani words for more than 50 native species.

Russell Atkinson's biography of Ellen Nora Payne — the Westbury-born woodcarver who lived 97 years and left her work in churches, schools and institutions across Tasmania and beyond. The scope of her work was extraordinary — the altar and screens of St Andrew's Church at Westbury, WWI honour boards for the University of Tasmania and institutions across the state, 34 dower chests for family and friends, a commemorative medal for a blackwood screen at the 1924 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, the Royal Coat of Arms for the Tasmanian Parliament in 1939, and a vestry plaque for All Hallows-by-the-Tower in London completed when she was in her early nineties.

Built in 1821 at Hadspen in northern Tasmania, Entally House was home to four generations of the Reibey family, descendants of the celebrated emancipist businesswoman Mary Reibey. In this booklet, Tasmanian historian K.R. von Stieglitz traces the house and its pioneering occupants from 1792 to 1912, making it a useful reference for anyone researching the Reibey family or the history of colonial homesteads in the northern reaches of the Tasmanian Midlands, now Meander Valley municipality.
