Building Tasmania's hydroelectric power system was one of the largest and most ambitious engineering undertakings in the state's history, carried out over nearly a century in some of the most remote and difficult terrain in the country. Ticklebelly Tales tells that story through the people who actually did the work — the construction workers, engineers and families who lived in the temporary townships built around the dam and power station sites, often in genuinely harsh conditions, from 1910 through to 2006.

In this book, Andrew Lohrey explores the contemporary nexus of philosophy, science and spirituality.
