A Post Office Directory for Tasmania published by H. Wise & Co Ltd in 1925 — one of the annual commercial directories that listed residents, businesses, tradespeople and government offices across the state, organised both alphabetically by surname and geographically by town and district.
Settled by sealers prior to Hobart, this is the story of Tasmania's forgotten frontier - the north east coast and islands and the pioneers who braved the isolation to create the first permanent settlements in this remote corner of the state.
Rare, out-of-print 2001 TMAG first edition. Numbered special limited edition (one of only 500 copies), hand-signed by the Director. Essential Tasmanian natural history reference.
Between 1825 and 1831, close to 200 British colonists and around 1,000 Aboriginal Tasmanians died violently in what became known as the Black War — the most intense and sustained frontier conflict in Australian history. Nicholas Clements takes a different approach to this history from most accounts.
