Just Tassie Books

C.J. Binks's history of the exploration of western Tasmania — focusing on the people who explored the region from 1815 through to 1880, covering those who pushed into some of the most difficult terrain in Australia. Western Tasmania resisted systematic European exploration longer than almost any other part of the Australian continent — its combination of dense rainforest, buttongrass plains, and the treacherous coastlines of Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River made it genuinely impassable for early explorers.

Philip Kuruvita's twenty-year photographic portrait project — 128 pages of black and white photographs capturing the people of Launceston between 1995 and 2015. In situ portraiture of a community over two decades gives this book a different character from a commemorative or historical photo album.
