A collection of honey recipes combined with information about Tasmanian honey and its producers — written by Annie Honeywood and published in 2014. About two-thirds of Tasmania's honey production comes from the leatherwood blossom — the flower of Eucryphia lucida, a tree endemic to Tasmania's west coast rainforests.
Steven Smith's 1980 investigation into the status of the thylacine — commissioned by the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service and published as Wildlife Division Technical Report 81/1 in May 1981. This report was produced just five years before the thylacine was officially declared extinct in 1986, at a time when debate about whether any animals might survive was still active.
Robert Travers's 1968 account of the fate of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania — from first European contact through the Black War and the removal of the surviving population to Flinders Island, to the death of Truganini in 1876. Published in 1968, this is a vintage history of its era — it reflects the understanding and approach to Aboriginal Tasmanian history that was current at that time, before the more critical and rigorous scholarship of recent decades.
Twelve-year-old Violet, her dog Tassie and a new friend — Thyla, the ghost of the last Tasmanian tiger — go on a wild adventure to learn the real story of the thylacine: how it lived, why it disappeared, and whether there could ever be hope for its return. Written and illustrated by Renee Treml, the book weaves a time-travel adventure story through genuinely fascinating facts about the thylacine.
Deborah J. Swiss traces the lives of four women transported to Van Diemen's Land in the 19th century — following them from their origins in Scotland and Ireland through the voyage, the assignment system, and their years in the colony.
