Rees Campbell, author of the bestselling Eat MORE Wild Tasmanian, turns her attention to Tasmania's off-shore islands. There are some 6,500 islands, islets, rocks and reefs around the state, and this book visits 40 of them — from the largest, Flinders Island, to the remote and uninhabited Pedra Branca and Mewstone in the Southern Ocean, to some of the smallest and closest, like the Harbour Islets in the state's far North West.

The story of Tazzie — a Tasmanian native hen who can't quite get her running right, even though running is what native hens do best. The Tasmanian native hen (Tribonyx mortierii) is a flightless bird found only in Tasmania — endemic to the island and one of its most distinctive wildlife characters.
The true story of ten convicts who escaped from Sarah Island — the Macquarie Harbour penal station on Tasmania's remote west coast, regarded as the most brutal of Van Diemen's Land's convict establishments — by stealing the brig they had helped to build, and sailing it across the Pacific Ocean to Chile without a map or a chronometer. The ringleader was Jimmy Porter, a resourceful and audacious schemer whose account of the escape became one of the most remarkable documents of the convict era.
The stories of eight convicts, from trial in England to detention and freedom in Van Diemen's Land: John Ireland Hyland and Harriet James, James Britton, Sophia and James Charles Gunyon, William Heard, and Isaac "Ikey" and Ann Solomon.
