History

Ned Terry's collection of accounts from people who told him they had seen a thylacine — stories gathered from across Tasmania from people who believed the Tasmanian tiger had survived beyond its official extinction date of 1936. Terry spent years collecting these accounts and this book brings them together, illustrated with black and white photographs throughout.

Michael Ludeke writes of 10 events that were key to shaping Tasmania's history including: Reconciliation - 1803 settlement - 1901 Federation - development of Hydro Electricity - 1967 bushfires - Australia's first casino - Tasman Bridge disaster 1975 - Port Arthur massacre 1996 - the Bacon era, Premier Jim Bacon 1998-2004 - Beaconsfield mine collapse and rescue.
