Building Stories Tasmania is an illustrated tour of Tasmania's most distinctive buildings - working waterfronts, former hydro sites, pubs, bookshops, hotels, theatres and small-town main streets - told through the people who built, worked and lived in them: convicts, clergy, brewers, booksellers and activists.
My Kemp Ancestors traces six generations of David Gatenby's Kemp family line, opening on the Isle of Sheppey before following the family chapter by chapter from William Kemp and Amelia Fowler onwards.

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.
Thanks to Providence traces the history of Falmouth, on Tasmania's East Coast near Scamander and St Marys, from its earliest colonial days through to the early 1990s.
