![Exiled – The Port Arthur Convict Photographs | Edwin Barnard | 2010 [USED – SC – Out of Print]](https://onlinestore.bookcellar.com.au/images/T/exiled-port-arthur-convict-photographs-5ZOHVd.png "Exiled – The Port Arthur Convict Photographs | Edwin Barnard | 2010 [USED – SC – Out of Print]")
In the 1870s, as Port Arthur penal settlement was closing, someone photographed the remaining convicts. Those photographs survived. This book reproduces them — the actual faces of men transported to Van Diemen's Land from Britain and Ireland between the 1820s and the 1850s. Not paintings, not drawings, not reconstructions — photographs. You are looking at the real people.

Nicholas Shakespeare — novelist and biographer of Bruce Chatwin — came to Tasmania on holiday, found a house on an east coast beach near Swansea, and decided on the spot that this was where he wanted to live.

Deny King spent 55 years living self-sufficiently at Melaleuca in Tasmania's remote South West wilderness – as a tin miner, naturalist, painter and ornithologist. He played a crucial role in saving the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot, had a fossil banksia species named in his honour, and was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his contribution to conservation. This is his extraordinary story.
