Mountain Stories: Echoes from the Tasmanian High Country (Volume 2) by Simon Cubit, available new, offers a collection of oral histories from the Western Tiers and Central Plateau. As a standalone volume that does not require reading the out-of-print first book, this 290-page softcover captures the lives of the mountain men and heritage huts.

Les Morley's pictorial history of trams and trolley buses in Tasmania — covering the systems that operated in Hobart, Launceston and other Tasmanian centres from the late 19th century through to the end of electric tram and trolleybus operation. Tasmania had a more extensive tram network than many Australians realise — Hobart's tramway system operated from 1893 to 1960, Launceston had its own network, and trolleybuses continued in Hobart into the 1960s.
