A close study of the 186 carved decorations on the Ross Bridge — the convict-built sandstone bridge that has spanned the Macquarie River at Ross since 1836, and one of the most visited historic sites in Tasmania. The carvings were the work of Daniel Herbert, a transported convict who was a stonemason by trade.
F. Oliver Gray's personal recollections of life on the north end of Bruny Island — the smaller, more pastoral northern section of the island separated from South Bruny by The Neck. North Bruny has a distinct character from the southern wilderness — it is more like farming country, with the community of Dennes Point and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel defining its western shore.
The third and final volume in Sarah Rackham's series documenting the construction villages of the Hydro-Electric Commission — covering three of the most distinctive HEC settlements in Tasmania - Poatina above Longford, Gowrie Park near Quamby Bluff, and Strathgordon (construction village for the Gordon Dam and at the centre of the Lake Pedder flooding and later the Franklin Dam campaign).
