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.

Presents the earliest surviving written accounts of the exploration and founding of Port Dalrymple and the Tamar, at the mouth of which the site of modern Launceston developed.
