Added: Sep 8, 2026

Rees Campbell, author of the bestselling Eat MORE Wild Tasmanian, turns her attention to Tasmania's off-shore islands. There are some 6,500 islands, islets, rocks and reefs around the state, and this book visits 40 of them — from the largest, Flinders Island, to the remote and uninhabited Pedra Branca and Mewstone in the Southern Ocean, to some of the smallest and closest, like the Harbour Islets in the state's far North West.

Local History

A large and constantly updated collection of Tasmanian local and district history books – town histories, community stories, and the histories of local councils, districts and regions right across the state. Many of these titles were produced by local historical societies, councils, and community groups in small print runs, making them genuinely hard to find once out of print. A favourite section for genealogists, local historians, and anyone researching a specific Tasmanian town or district.
