Beneath the Mountain: A History of South Hobart was written by Dr Alison Alexander and designed by graphic designer Julie Hawkins. Illustrated with more than 700 historic and current photographs, paintings, maps and sketches, it traces South Hobart from its Aboriginal and convict-era origins — including the Cascades Female Factory and industries along the Hobart Rivulet such as the Cascade Brewery, milling, tanning and even shell necklace and wombat coat making — through to its rebuilding after the devastating 1967 bushfires and its development into the friendly, close-knit suburb it is today.
